  • Question RepeatMasker vs. BLAST - e-Value

    Hi,

    So I was looking at my data with RepeatMasker for some repetitive ~100bp sequences from my customRepLib. I was just looking for their distribution and positions so not exactly masking them and I used the rm-blast search engine that is a modified version of BLAST to work with RM.

    Now I have some (non-repetivie) sequence that maybe assoziated to the repetitive elements and I searched for that one too with RepeatMasker since RM generates a convenient HTML output of its findings and I could just use 1 programm for all the searching.


    The drawback is, RM offers no e-values for its alignments just a Smith-Waterman Score. When I searched for a way to calculate the e-value myself I got doubts if I am using the right tool here and the more I thought abtout it the insecurer I got.


    So the question is twofold:

    1. Is it actually a viable way how I am working or am i missusing RM for my purposes and should stick to the ncbi-blastn+?

    2. Is there a way to get e-values for my RepeatMasker output scores?


    thanks for any input.

    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...
