I want to convert FASTA files to pgSNP. Ive googled high and low and cant find a way to do it. Is it even possible? Can i somehow do it with bioperl or biopython or bioruby?

That's not a conversion, which is why google isn't giving you any results. A pgSNP format file is a text file describing variants in a genome. A fasta file is a (typically) nucleotide sequence. The sequence could be of a genome, a transcript, or even just a read (from high-throughput or even Sanger sequencing). Presumably, you need to call variants or find the differences between your fasta file(s) and the reference. If you provided more details regarding exactly what you have, someone can probably give you some hints on how to proceed. -
I have a couple of FASTA files containing sequences of different neanderthals. I want to compare the results of living people's 23andme results ( in pgSNP format ) to the neanderthal samples.Comment

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
