Hello Yan,

Unfortunately, the tool can only extract sequence that is provided as the mapping target. This will be a problem with any of the methods. This tool does avoid a problem with generating negative coordinates (which will cause a problem with the 'Extract' tool). But it is not quite giving you what you want either, assuming that partially extended sequence, based on available data, would be acceptable.

Using the compute tool may be the best option for your case, now that the data is clearer. "End" coordinates that extend past the edge of the chromosome are not a problem, but the "Start" coordinate will need to be set to 1 (if using GFF3 as interval directly) or 0 (if you converted to BED - this doesn't appear to be the case). The expression below will either subtract '5000' from a "Start" coordinate or change it to a "1", depending on how close it is to the leading edge of the scaffold. (Modify for BED to be 0-based as needed).

(c2 - 5000) if (c2 > 5000) else (1)

Then add 5000 to the end, 'Cut' columns, and extract as Graham recommended.

I am not going to address the GFF3 format except to say that if you have gene rows in your data, use those if your target genome has spliced transcripts. If the data is transcript, not gene based, and is split between rows (multi-exon), then the processing becomes more complicated. One potential solution is the 'Extract' tool - it does not only extract fasta sequence, it can also be used to combine records for some GFF/GTF datasets - so you could try this and output "Interval" data instead of "Fasta". This creates a new GTF file with global coordinates (but the sequence output will be spliced). Check to see if correct, run the 'Compute' tool to do the extensions, 'Cut' columns, and do a final 'Extract' run to obtain the extended, global, sequence. All of this would have to be tested with your data - much depends on the attributes in your file.

Hopefully one of these solution will work out for you,

Hi Jen,

Thanks very much for your help! It is very helpful. However, following
your suggestion, what I got is not what I want. Take one sequence for
example. The annotation for one scaffold is
C16582  GLEAN   mRNA    35      385     0.555898        -       .       
ID=OYG_GLEAN_10000001;
C16582  GLEAN   CDS     35      385     .       -       0       
Parent=OYG_GLEAN_10000001;

What I got for this scaffold is
 >?_C16582_385_5385_-
GCAAACAAGC
 >?_C16582_385_5385_-
GCAAACAAGC

                                                                
I understand that it is trying to get the sequence of the gene
downstream from 385-5385, but the sequence is short, so I only get what
the scaffold has. I would like to have the upstream+gene+downstream
sequence at the same time, not only the upstream or downstream. How can
I do this using a galaxy tool? Thanks!

Yan
