    pairwise sequence alignment

    This is a primitive question but somehow I could not find a solution to it. I have two sequences 'large' and 'small' as given below.

    >large
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXGGGTTVTTSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBGGGTTLTTSS


    >small
    GGGTTVTTSS


    I need to align the 'small' sequence to the 'large' sequence. Clearly there are two places where it can be aligned. I need to get indices of both the locations. I was trying BioPython's "pairwise2.align.globalms" function but it is only able to align to the second position.



    pairwise2.align.globalms(largeStr, smallStr, 2, -1, -1, 0, penalize_end_gaps=False)
    Ans:
    [('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXGGGTTVTTSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBGGGTTLTTSS',
    '-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GGGTTLTTSS',
    20.0,
    0,
    99)]



    Which parameter can I change here or which other pachage/lightweight free software can compute this?

    Thanks

    bowtie or bowtie2, although overkill for a single reference, will report all alignments. For a short query sequence bowtie is probably better.

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2





      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
