I have been using BLAST to compare genome sequences with the goal of identifying genomic regions that are unique to specific fungal strains. Unfortunately, BLAST misses a large number of long (>1 kb), almost perfect alignments, resulting in too many false positives for my liking. Can anyone recommend another alignment tool that does not miss obvious matches? I know Smith Waterman is more sensitive but I'd like something a little more computationally efficient.

Try turning off the low complexity filter - if part of your query triggers this, that part won't be used in the searches. -

I routinely switch off the low complexity filter, so this is not the issue. The problem lies in the initial blast step - breaking the query into short seed "words." Presumably, for long queries, such as genomic contigs, the distribution of the seeds is too sparse.Comment

The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.Today, 06:37 PM -
NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM
