Hi Lina,
I'm afraid this reply is both late and useless.
I think it's an appropriate problem, and "too similar" should not matter. I'm surprised you're getting no alignments. The only way to figure this out is if you can share your sequences.
(I would recommend also using last-split, and probably last-train. But "no alignments" suggests some deeper problem.)
Have a nice day, Martin
Thank you for the quick reply! If you don't mind taking a look at my sequences, I will send them to you via email.
Best, ~Lina
Hello all,
I am interested in comparing two canu assemblies using LAST. The reference assembly has 25 contigs and the query assembly has 21 contigs. The assemblies are for GC rich bacteria (same species but different strains, so I expect them to be somewhat similar).
I followed the instructions provided here: https://github.com/mcfrith/last-rna/blob/master/last-long-reads.md
However, the output I get seems to just be the comments:
I also tried submitting these two assemblies to the web service but received the message "no alignments were found":
I am new to LAST. Could it be that my sequences are too similar? Is this an appropriate problem for LAST?
Thanks for any advice! ~Lina
