  • Merging many (n=1600) fasta gene alignments into one core genome.

    Hello,

    I have 1600 fasta aligned bacterial genes from mafft. Each aligned file contains about 442-446 strains.
    I want to create a single multi-fasta alignment file for use in raxml. Is there a tool out there that will take these file and give me a merged alignment file?

    Any ideas welcome.

    gene1.aln
    >strain_a
    ATGC--ATG
    >strain_b
    GCG---ATG

    gene2.aln
    >strain_a
    ATGC--ATG
    >strain_b
    GCG---ATG

    Some tools like Gblocks can do this. However, it needs all the input alignment files contain same number of sequences and their order should be same. You said the aligned files contain different number of sequences (442~446), so you need to fix the alignment files first, then it is easy to get the merged fasta file using Gblocks.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
