I am using mauve 2.3.1 to align assembled bacterial genomes (but there is no snp file) within the output files (backbone, BBCLOS, guide tree)- any advice please on how to get the SNPs??

Mauve does not export snps, but you can get those, if you parse the output file. It is a multiple fasta like file. -
There seem to be current versions of Mauve that are released as Snapshots which include a convenient SNPExporter. Check that link for reference:

thank you- I am using GUI on windows (not command line) so is there a way to extract snps???Comment

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.

Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.
Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...05-06-2026, 09:04 AM
