    SOAPdenovo and FASTA files - Newbie question

    I'm a newbie when it comes to NGS bioinformatics. I'm testing SOAPdenovo with a small FASTA file (3300 kb). The FASTA file is an unpaired set of exported reads viewed in Tablet but originally generated in a BWA alignment, i.e. I extracted a subset of reads from my MiSeq run based on a reference sequence for denovo assembly in SOAPdenovo. For an unknown reason SOAPdenovo fails to read the FASTA file. (see below)

    Has anyone else seen this and is there a fix out there?

    Version 2.04: released on July 13th, 2012
    Compile Apr 25 2013 16:59:53

    ********************
    Pregraph
    ********************

    Parameters: pregraph -s soap-fasta.config -K 63 -R -o fastatest

    In soap-fasta.config, 1 lib(s), maximum read length 260, maximum name length 256.

    8 thread(s) initialized.
    Import reads from file:
    /home/fasta/1700-sorted-bam_140k.txt
    --- 100000000th reads.
    --- 200000000th reads.

    ...and on and on to "kill -9"

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
