Thank you very much, Galt. I spent a long time searching for it and
still managed to miss the -out=pslx option.

sequence to psl


Hi, Abir!

You can either use the -out=pslx format or the program pslPretty.

pslx output will add two more columns at the end of each psl row. 
These are the query and target sequences.
Each contains a comma-separated list of sequence from the aligning
blocks.
You will be able to see mismatches, but the aligning blocks have no gaps
or unaligned sequence.
Of course pslx files will probably be bigger than psl.

If you download or compile pslPretty, it can display the psl record
in a human friendly format that will show sequence.  Of course the 
original 2bit or fasta files used to generate the psl records must be
available.

        Hello!
        
        I'm running a standalone version of BLAT.
        Is there an easy way to print to the output only the section of
the
        sequence that was aligned?
        
        For example, if I align the sequence
        
        >786
        
AAATTTTAAACTAATACATCAGTTCTTCTAAATACCTTCTATAATACATCCAATAAAATAGAAACAGTTTTC
        AGTGAATGTCATAATCAAGGACGCTGTA
        
        According to the 'details' of web BLAT,
        
        The first 75 bases align with chr2
        
AAATTTTAAACTAATACATCAGTTCTTCTAAATACCTTCTATAATACATCCAATAAAATAGAAACAGTTTTC
        AGT
        
        While the rest align with chr12 (probably indicative of a
        translocation), along with some other irrelevant alignment
results.
        
        So the question is: is there an easy way to print those first 75
bases
        that aligned with chr2 (along with the other respective aligned
        sections) directly onto the psl output?
        This will help me with processing the output and discarding
extraneous
        results.
        
        Thank you,
