  • blastn help for primer alignment to custom db

    Hello!

    I am trying to find primer pairs that will amplify across 6 individuals of the same taxa. I have forward and reverse primers(<30bp each) for each individual that were generated by QDD, and am now trying to blast the primers from each individual to the microsatellite sequences(msat + flanking regions) from the other 5 (ex. primers from A blasted to msat sequences from B,C,D,E,F). The goal is to find which primers will align in all 6 individuals so that we can order the primers and test if they amplify in the lab.

    This is the blast command I'm using right now. I want the results to be only alignments that span 100% of the query sequence. Really, a global query:local database alignment.

    >>blastn -task blastn-short -qcov_hsp_perc 100 -perc_identity 100 -ungapped -num_threads 8 -outfmt 6 -query "query.fa" -db "subject.db" -out out.out

    Unfortunately, I'm really new to this and am not very knowledgable on the subject, but does it look like this command will give me the results I am looking for? Thanks for the help!

    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...
