Getting karyotype file for Candida

emmannaemeka opened this issue · 6 comments

Running Candida_albicans genome UCSC chrom.sizes to get the url did not yield any result to be used. How can I use this tool for a yeast genome not on ucsc browser?

That script UCSC_chrom_sizes_2_circos_karyotype.py as it is written won't work. However, I just looked at the Candida genome site and if your genomes are there, I can make a separate version of the script that handles their different setup and will give you a karyotype file. I see from here they have Candida albicans SC5314 and WO-1. Would those work? My plan is to modify parts of my script to handle any of the Candida species and strains there. So I'd describe how to determine the exact URL at the Candida genome site to supply the new script and then it would process to give the karyotype file.

A karyotype file for organisms that don't have cytogenetic data is really just a specially formatted list of the chromosomes and the chromosome sizes. You could certainly make a script to make one for a private assembly if that information is fairly parseable from the files. You'd need to share with me names and parts of the files that have that information if you want me to help you with that. My academic email is fairly easy to find if you search my first name, 'Upstate medical' and 'scientist'. My first name is Wayne.

Thanks email sent.

Is the fast you sent me of C. albicans SC5314 A22 the same as at the genome site? Or is that your own assembly?
