  • aligning .sra files in colorspace with fasta reference genome

    Hello
    I am currently doing an intership in bioinformatics and I am looking for a good pipeline to process abi SOLiD data coming from the NCBI sra-data repository.
    The eventual goal is to perform peakcalling on an alignment coming from a colorspace fastq and a plain fasta reference genome.

    I'm having trouble finding a good (working) tool to align the colorspace fastq and the fasta genome. Does anyone have any tips?

    I already know it's not a good idea to convert colorspace to basespace, so I'm looking for alternatives. Bowtie and BWA don't seem to work for me...

    much thanks!

    I seem to remember that BFAST was specifically written for colorspace data.

      Thx! I'm looking into BFast, but it seems to have problems with indexing my fasta genome.

      "In function "BfastIndexValidateInputs": Fatal Error[IllegalFileName]. Variable/Value: mask."

      I'm sure though that my fasta file is in order, the fasta2bgr module of BFast doens't throw this error..

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        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...

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        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...
