Hi Michael,
Thanks a lot for making the gsnap aligner (and associated tools) available through the gmapR package. The vignette mentions that "GMAP integration is scheduled for the near future" as well.
I noticed that there is a gmap-command.R file in the package as well, but it still seems to be a stub since 2012 (last change in the repository). Do you still plan to enable use of the gmap command through the package?
Again, thanks for making these (and many other) tools available to the community,
Thomas
Hi Michael,
thanks a lot for responding to my question.
I would like to map cDNA sequences to a genome, e.g. map an EST sequence to the reference genome of the same or a very highly related species. As described in the original gmap paper, I would be interested in very close matches, e.g. near-identity between a cDNA sequence and its corresponding genomic exons, to learn about the intron-exon structure of the locus.
For example, I would like to start with one (or more) query sequences (fasta files, DNAStrings, DNAStringSeq, whatever makes most sense) and a GmapGenome.
Does this description help?
Thanks, Thomas
I will put it on the list. Perhaps something in devel by the end of the week. Have to fix R first.
Update: have been working on this, but it's a fairly significant feature addition and will take a couple more days before it is ready to try.
Thanks a lot for spending some of your valuable time to implement this feature. Very much appreciated. Let me know if / when I can help.
I edited the answer; there is something that might work.
