Does anyone know a way to extract the loop sequence from the miRNA hairpin. Basically I need to extract the part that is between the 3p- and 5p part of the hairpin.

Just align the 5p and 3p sequences to the hairpin sequence and take the bit between them. -
I have tried, but struggle to find a command that works.Originally posted by dpryan View PostComment

I would expect that either biopython or bioperl should make this relatively straight forward. The idea is to either use base python string matching or the pairwise2 module and global alignment.Comment

Here is another suggestion using R/Bioconductor. Good luck!
Code:require(rtracklayer) require(BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19) require(ShortRead) mirTrack = import('ftp://mirbase.org/pub/mirbase/20/genomes/hsa.gff3') # split into hairpin, 5arm and 3arm hp = mirTrack[mirTrack$type != "miRNA"] arm5 = mirTrack[grepl("-5p", mirTrack$Name)] arm3 = mirTrack[grepl("-3p", mirTrack$Name)] # make key for matching hairpin with arm5 and arm3 hp$arm5 = match(hp$ID, arm5$Derives_from) hp$arm3 = match(hp$ID, arm3$Derives_from) # discard hairpins lacking annotated 5p and 3p arms (loops not defined) hp = hp[!is.na(hp$arm3) & !is.na(hp$arm5)] # prepare hp$loopStart = 0 hp$loopEnd = 0 # miRNAs on pos and neg strand have to be parsed separately ## posStrand isPos = as.vector(strand(hp) =="+") hp$loopStart[isPos] = end(arm5[hp$arm5[isPos]]) hp$loopEnd[isPos] = start(arm3[hp$arm3[isPos]]) ## negStrand hp$loopEnd[!isPos] = start(arm5[hp$arm5[!isPos]]) hp$loopStart[!isPos] = end(arm3[hp$arm3[!isPos]]) # GRanges for miRNA loops loops = GRanges(seqnames = seqnames(hp), IRanges(hp$loopStart, hp$loopEnd),strand = strand(hp), MI = hp$ID, Name = hp$Name) # sanity check hist(width(loops)) # we don't want the first/last nt of bounding mature miRs loops = loops-1 loops$seq = getSeq(Hsapiens, loops) loops # export as fastaFile loopsFasta = loops$seq names(loopsFasta) = paste("loopSeq", loops$MI, loops$Name, sep = "_") writeFasta(loopsFasta, file = "mirbase20loops.fa")Comment

The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...08-27-2024, 04:44 AM -
Sequencing mRNA provides a snapshot of cellular activity, allowing researchers to study the dynamics of cellular processes, compare gene expression across different tissue types, and gain insights into the mechanisms of complex diseases. “mRNA’s central role in the dogma of molecular biology makes it a logical and relevant focus for transcriptomic studies,” stated Sebastian Aguilar Pierlé, Ph.D., Application Development Lead at Inorevia. “One of the major hurdles for...08-07-2024, 12:11 PM
