    microsatellite query

    Hello wise people!

    I have approx 10,000 microsatellites that I obtained from some assembled dna of a non-model organism. I selected a subset of the microsatellites including 50bp of the right and left flanking sites.
    My intent is to use this subset as a query to search in sequenced dna data from a number of sample populations and see if I can find similar sequences in the different popns.

    I am trying to think of a way to do this, does anyone know of a program/software (or a combination of different programs) that can achieve this? For those who use CLC gwb, any ideas?
    I was thinking of mapping each popn to the microsatellite+flanking seqs (use the microsatellite seqs as reference), extracting a consensus sequence, then aligning that sequence back to the microsatellite seq. Is that a good way or what?
    Please help...

    Out of curiosity, can you please tell me how you identified the microsatellite regions? Any specific tool or method?

      I found a program online called phobos, that's the one I used. There is also TRF and msat commander but I haven't tried using those ones yet.

        How large is your subset that you want to investigate?

          Thanks for that. TRF seems to have been used in the 1000 genomes analysis as well.

            I am first starting with a small group ie 10 sequences, each sequence is approx 150bp (ie the left flank region + repeat motif + right flanking region). The size of one of the popns that I want to search in is approx 1.8million sequences.

              Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
              by SEQadmin2


              I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


              Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

              From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
              by SEQadmin2


              Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


              The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
