Hello,

The option #2 below works well for batch.  Some simple scripting may be 
necessary on your part to extract the regions or you can experiment with the 
other maf* programs to see if they can get you to the BED file stage. Many rely 
on a database - which is available as a public mySQL server.

Hi Jennifer, 

Thanks for your replying. Actually, I want to know whether there is any program 
can do it locally and easily like " mafsinRegion" which is provided by Kent. In 
other words, is any toolkit can get the whole alignment automatically instead 
of extracting the sequence by hand? 


Thanks again.

Hello Xiake, 

Some easier ways to retrieve the genomic sequence (for any species): 

1) Use the "Get DNA" tool in that species home browser. First adjust the 
browser window to the position, then submit and download. 

2) Use the Table Browser. Either enter the coordinates in directly for a single 
location (using track Assembly, table gold) or create a custom track BED file 
to extract in batch (create/load custom track then open in TB). Select output 
as sequence for both methods. 

3) Download the complete genomes from Downloads and extract using unix tools. 

Some help links:

Since you already know the coordinates, this process should be fairly 
straightforward, but please let us know if you need more help or if we 
misunderstood your question. 

Thanks!

Subject: [Genome] How to get the completed multiple-species alignment? 

Hello, 
I am trying to get the multiple species alignment from "15-way insect 
alignment" locally. After parsing the result from lots of "MAF" file, I 
found that some indels exist in another species (not the reference 
species) but it's hard to get the sequence directly from "MAF" file. Does 
anybody get some ideas to solve this? 

Thanks very much.
