Hi Beifang, the function extendSeed does not return the number of matched sequence positions. I assume you have used ungapped X-drop extension? Then you can count matching positions by simply iterating over the infixes: typedef typename Infix<TSeq>::Type TInfix; TInfix infix1 = infix(seq1, leftPosition(seed, 0), rightPosition(seed, 0)+1); TInfix infix2 = infix(seq2, leftPosition(seed, 1), rightPosition(seed, 1)+1); unsigned count = 0; for(int i = 0; i < length(seed); ++i) { if (value(infix1, i) == value(infix2, i)) ++count; } -Birte ________________________________________ From: Beifang Niu [neilniu.cn@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2011 9:19 PM To: Kehr, Birte Subject: Re: seqan-dev Digest, Vol 25, Issue 6 Hi Birte, Thank you for your prompt response but I didn't receive your reply from seqan development mail list. I did see the example for seed extension in the SeqAn-Tutorial. Now, I have other questions for you. How can I get the actual aligned bases number between two extended seeds after running extendSeeds? for example, sequences: ACGTAGTTT and ACGTGGTTT , there is one seed GTTT, after the extension of left , I got the extension seeds: ACGTAGTTT and ACGTGGTTT ( there is only one mismatch) , the actual aligned bases number is 8. I want to get this number but I don;t know how to get it only running extendSeeds. thank you, Beifang.

Firstly, I get the MEM of the two genome sequences using MUMMER3 and then I want to use extendSeed of Seqan to do extension of MEMs. Is there any examples for extendSeed function of seeds class? thanks, Beifang. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You might also want to consider to use the seeds2 module instead of the seeds module since we plan to replace the seeds module by the seeds2 module. Unfortunately, there is no example on how to use the seeds2 module, yet. -Birte From: Beifang Niu [mailto:neilniu.cn@gmail.com<mailto:neilniu.cn@gmail.com>] Sent: Montag, 24.
