Can DNA alignment traceback result comply with HGVS 3' rule? #104
Comments
I guess that outputing the most right side traceback is the consequence of internal traceback strategy. |
Which alignment function are you using? local, global, semi-global?
There was a recent request for allowing all same-score alignments to be returned. Would that satisfy your request, as well? |
parasail.sg_qx_trace(seq1, seq2, open=6, extend=1, matrix=parasail.Matrix('nuc44')) output [Alignment 1], |
I noticed the recent request for allowing all same-score alignments to be returned. I don't need this feature, partially becase it maybe hard to choose the most left-side traceback from these returns. |
In a word, at now, parasail output the most right-side traceback of the most left-side alignment. |
We also would find this feature very useful to output either left most or right most alignment options |
Hi, jeffdaily, thanks for your great work!
Let's start with an exmple. When I do a global alignment for these two sequences:
The traceback result is:
But, for my scenarios, the prefering reslult is:
For DNA variant naming, [Alignment 2] but not [Alignment 1] is complied with HGVS 3' rule (https://varnomen.hgvs.org/recommendations/general/)
According to my understanding, when there are same score alignment end points, parasail will choose the most left one (I want this), but for traceback this most left alignment, parasail will output the most right one (I don't want this).
Can I get a traceback option to output the most left side traceback of the most left side alignment?
