Bedops for extracting fasta sequences from bed file
« on: November 15, 2016, 01:16:05 PM »
Hi,

I am new to bedops and I have bed file like following
Code: [Select]
bed_file
scaffold123    56    120    transcript_A
scaffold123    175  234    transcript_A

I would like to extract the fasta sequence from the from the respective scaffold in genome.fasta with transcript header. Using bedtools this can be acheived by
Code: [Select]
bedtools getfasta -name fi genome.fasta -bed bed_file Is it possible to achieve the same output using bedops. Kindly guide me.

BEDOPS works with BED files and leaves work on FASTA files to other toolkits.

If you're looking for an alternative to bedtools, you might investigate samtools faidx.

Some examples here:
