[BiO BB] question on RNA and species signatures

Mike,

For short BLASTs, the e-vlaue is generally not that usefull. 
Often the recommended expect for short BLASTs is 1000.
In this case its % identiy and coverage you should look for.. Realistically 100% coverage should be what you expect.

Thanks. Nothing on the one site but ensembl has some ideas, not sure
how to interpret yet. fwiw, ncbi does have several repeats databases

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/staff/tao/URLAPI/remote_accessible_blastdblist.html

and I tried against a few of these but no low-e hits.
At higher e, there were a few suggestions in human repeats:

$ blastnew -out non_dog -nuc -hits 10 -summ 3000 -db humrep -expect 100 
TCCTGGAGTCCCAGGATCCAGTCCCACGTCGGGCTCCCT

>MER31-internal#LTR/MER4-group
          Length = 4936

Score = 26.3 bits (13), Expect = 0.22
Identities = 13/13 (100%)
Strand = Plus / Minus


Query: 12   caggatccagtcc 24
            |||||||||||||
Sbjct: 4369 caggatccagtcc 4357

I also ran against
some other wgs's and there are some lower e hits to cat but still
seems to be largely dog specific( matches 38/39 IIRC).

Thanks
