I am doing some experiment using BowTie and Q-Pick. However, one works with full Human genomic database (BowTie) and another works with it's corresponding chromosomal databases (for chromosome 1,2, 3....23). Now from here, I found full Human Genome Database for h19 (contains 23 chromosome files one for each chromosome i.e. chromFa.tar.gz archive). However, can't understand , if I concatenate all those 23 files in a single file (say using cat command) and give input to the BowTie tool, is it acceptable ? Means does concatenated all chromosome files = Full Genomic database ? More specifically, each chromosome starts with chr(chromosome number)>, should I include those while concatenating or remove those tags ?

Full Genomic Database and corresponding chromosomal databases

I am not sure I understand your question. Bowtie can work with an entire genome, with chromsomes or with parts of chromosomes. So there is no need to have one large file and plenty of reasons not to (e.g., ease of manipulation, ease of visualization, etc.) However ff you do wish to concatenate all of the chromsomes together into one large genome file then leave the '>' part in place. Good luck with your analysis.

Your files should look something like:
>chr1
NN..AG..NN
And the next file should look like:
>chr2
NN..GC..NN
When you cat these files together leave in the '>' part to get a large file that looks like:
>chr1
NN..AG..NN
>chr2
NN..GC..NN
Unless I misunderstanding your question, this is simple FastA format manipulation.

Save yourself a significant amount of effort and just download the pre-built bowtie indexes for hg19 from here: ftp://ftp.cbcb.umd.edu/pub/data/bowt.../hg19.ebwt.zip

I guess you are trying to do much of this on windows. It may be time to put some effort into using a unix distro. There are several unix distributions that you can try. You may want to experiment with "bioliunx" which has a lot of pre-built bioinformatics apps (http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/tools/bio-linux/bio-linux-6.0).
You are bound to run into some issue (sooner than later) where trying to do this type of analysis on windows (editing/handling large files is one thing that comes to mind).
A simple unix command like "cat file1 fie2 file3 > final.fa" would achieve what you were asking about in the original question.
Originally posted by Arupsss View PostThanks a lot. However, I have many chromosomal sequences (not only for Human or hg19/18). I have to do it for all. I don't think for all I can get prebuilt indexes. Another point is that for some cases I have to include/exclude sex related chromosomal sequence.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
