[Bioperl-l] bio-alignio-maf

[dave burt (RI)]

Brain
 
- good idea ! worked fine
 
- the problem was traced to the header line
 
- should be 
 
##maf version=1 scoring=zero
 
- and not the following, which is included in the biomart downloaded file
 
##maf version=1
#Tue Apr 29 16:49:45 2008
#The start coordinate is a zero-based number.
#For segments in the negative strand, the start
#is relative to the end of the chromosome. Please, refer to
#http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat#format5 for a
#description of this file format.
 
simple solution - usually is 99% of time
 
many thanks for the clues
 
Dave

Dave,

Try your script on some *maf files in the Bioperl package instead of 
test1.maf:

bioperl-live/t/data/bug2453.maf
bioperl-live/t/data/humor.maf

What is the result?
