  • blast against Repbase using Repeatmasker or blast

    Hi all,

    I would like to filter out the reads which matches with the repeats from miRNA seq data.

    I am planing to use blastn to blast my data against the repeats fasta file from Repbase (http://www.girinst.org/censor/index.php). Will it work?

    Because there is a RMBlast on RepeatMasker home page which is a RepeatMasker compatible version of the standard NCBI BLAST suite.
    Here is the description for RMBlast:
    The primary difference between this distribution and the NCBI distribution is the addition of a new program "rmblastn" for use with RepeatMasker and RepeatModeler.
    RMBlast supports RepeatMasker searches by adding a few necessary features to the stock NCBI blastn program. These include:
    • Support for custom matrices ( without KA-Statistics ).
    • Support for cross_match-like complexity adjusted scoring. Cross_match is Phil Green's seeded smith-waterman search algorithm.
    • Support for cross_match-like masklevel filtering.

    I just want to find the match between my short reads with the repeat database.So what is the difference?

    I would not worry about the differences for your purposes because it sounds like you are just interested in filtering reads. For that task, I think it's fine to just create a database and filter your reads based on matches. Make sure to turn off complexity filtering though.

      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...
