Yannick,

this can also be done directly, by simply reversing the order of the BLAST search. If you use the genome as the query, and the ESTs as the database, the resulting file (using the m8 format) will load directly into Artemis over the genome.

You will also need to set V=, B= and hspmax= to very large numbers, so that no results are filtered out by BLAST. There is also a "span" parameter which should be set to avoid BLAST removing multiple hits to one part of the genome. By default BLAST often filters and removes hits without informing the user.

yours,

Julian Parkhill.

Dear list,

I have a set of EST sequences which I have tblastx-ed against my favorite genome. Now I would like to view the genome sequence in Artemis, with my EST hits as annotation. After some struggles, I have managed to do the reverse with Artemis 7 on my Mac: load an EST sequence (fasta format) and see where the genome hits (by loading my EST vs. genome tblastx -m8 file)

Is there any way of using artemis to do what I have in mind? The reason is that I basically need to manually go through my blast results, to see how large the corresponding genome ORF might be.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks a bunch for your help,

Yannick
