  • Download DNA sequences for RepeatMasker track

    1. I want to download the DNA sequences for the mouse mm9 RepeatMasker track from the UCSC Genome Browser. When I tried the Table Browser it got to 167 MB after ~10 minutes then stopped, having only completed chromosome 1 and part of 2. The file I downloaded ended with:

    Code:
    procedures have exceeded timeout: 1200 seconds, function has ended.
    My internet connection is very fast but it was downloading pretty slowly so I assume it's being limited by UCSC's speed. Should I be able to download this from the Table Browser or is there a better way?

    2. Here is what one sequence looks like:

    Code:
    >mm9_rmsk_L1_Mur2 range=chr1:3000002-3000156 5'pad=0 3'pad=0 strand=- repeatMasking=none
    AAATGTTAAATCTAAAAAAATCCTAACAAGAAACAGCCAGGAAATCTGGG
    ACACTATGAAAAGACCAAACCTAAGAAAAATAGGAATAAAAGAAGGACAA
    AAGTTTCAGCTGAAACACCCAGAAAACATATTAAACTAAATCATAGAAAA
    GAATT
    The header includes the repeat name (L1_Mur2), but I would also like the repeat Family and Class which you can get if you download the RepeatMasker track itself, but not if you download the actual sequences like I'm trying to do. I'm pretty sure I could use Perl and add correct Family and Class info to each sequence but if there is some way to get the sequences with this information already included it would save a bit of time.

    [Edit] Problem solved using bedtools getfasta with the genome fasta file and a bed file for each type of repeat.

    Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
    by seqadmin


    The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

    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...
