  • Find an uniqe sequence in a range of chromosome coordinates

    Hi All,

    I have a range of chromosome coordinates i.e.
    Code:
    HERC6 4:89,280,000-89,350,000
    From this range, I have to pull out a subsequence of 200-400 nucleotides. The subsequence shouldn't appear in another part of the human genome. This should be an unique sequence. (The best case, the subsequence would be an exon of HERC6, but not necessary)

    Do you have any idae how to automate this process? Which tools/services should I use?


    I know I can do this in such way:
    HTML Code:
    Ensembl -> type in the search box "4:89,280,000-89,350,000" -> export data -> cut a subsequence -> paste to the blast.
    But this way is not satisfactory.

    Just use mabability tracks at CGWB or UCSC ...

    No need to brute force this when many folks have done the work already.

    Just use any of the mapability tracks available at UCSC or CGWB:

    See CBIIT Mapability track at CGWB:


    Note top track is based on 100bp. Set your window to 200 bp and look for all white in the Mapability track.

    There's similar mapability tracks at UCSC :

      Hello,

      I think vmatch can do what you want, it's a very flexible tool. In particular look at examples 9.9.1 and 9.9.5 of the manual

      All the best

        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...
