        Did you ever figure out how to do this? I'm trying to do the same thing - trying to shove a bam file into an older program that expects either .ace or blastn.

          I can do it via a truely tortuous route, and probably not one you'd want.

          Gap5 can import/export both formats, so it can be used as a conversion tool. But it's slow as it builds its own internal database and it's also a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Finally I'm really not sure how much testing I did on ace output... gap5 can read its own output, but I'm not really an ACE expert and almost no one is using gap5 in that manner.

          As a one off though it may be worth a shot.

            Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
            by SEQadmin2



            Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

            Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

            New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
            by SEQadmin2


            Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

            We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
