Hi 

For a short sequence (7nt) in human genome assembly, hg19, I want to find the 
corresponding 7nt sequence in Mouse assembly mm9, with 100% sequence Identity 
to my human 7nt sequence (assuming its 100% conserved). 
 I am using liftover. For some of my human sequences liftover points to 
locations on Mouse that are not 100% identical to my original human sequence. 
Is there a parameter in liftover that can be adjusted for this.  

The following example shows the problem. 

 content of the inputfile containing one human seq location on hg19:

 chr11          120899760       120899766       pos1     1       +

 the sequence is : CACTTTA

 liftover command line used:

 ./liftOver -minMatch=1 -multiple -minSizeT=7 -minSizeQ=7 -bedPlus=6 inputfile 
hg19ToMm9.over.chain outputfile unmapped

 content of the outputfile produced by liftover containing corresponding 
conserved mouse coordinates in mm9 assembly is:

 chr9           42275345          42275351           pos1     1       -

 when I plug the new coordinates in the genome browser, mm9, it shows content 
of this sequence as:

 TAAGGAG

 which is not 100% match with my original human seq.

 Ideally if there is no 100% identity, then the outputfile should be empty.

 Is there any way to fix this?

 Many thanks!
