Hi,
I am confused by the BLAT option "translated DNA" & "translated RNA"
Originally I expected BLAT behaviored as follows:
Query Type:
DNA: search a nucleotide database using a nucleotide query
Protein: Search a translated DNA database using a protein query
Translated DNA: Search a translated DNA database
using a translated DNA query
Translated RNA: Search a translated DNA database using
a translated RNA query
Therefore, I expected the translated DNA & translated RNA result
representation was similar to that of tblastx
However, this assumption seems to fail and the side-by-side alignment
shows only DNA match/mismatch.
So what does translated DNA/RNA really mean in the BLAT context?
Cheers,
Louis
