  • Understanding Maq log output

    Hi,

    I have a couple of questions about my Maq map output if anyone knows the answers I'd really appreciate them:

    Code:
    [match_search]  98% processed in 20717.101 sec: 31618863 / 21294334 = 1.485
    [match_search]  99% processed in 20765.187 sec: 28388678 / 20109661 = 1.412
    [match_search] 100% processed in 20768.725 sec: 1164880 / 1048335 = 1.111
    [match_core] sorting the hits and dumping the results...
    [ma_load_reads] loading reads...
    [ma_load_reads] 2000000*2 reads loaded.
    [mapping_count_single] 7, 11, 16, 27
    [maq_indel_pe] the indel detector only works with short-insert mate-pair reads.
    [match_data2mapping] 1922258 out of 4000000 raw reads are mapped with 0 in pairs.
    -- (total, isPE, mapped, paired) = (2000000, 0, 1922258, 0)
    First, what is the "mapping_count_single" - what do these 4 numbers mean?

    Second, this file contained 2,000,000 reads (8 million lines in fastq format), so how come the logfile says x out of 4000000 raw reads are mapped?

    Many Thanks
    Anna

    I have a similar issue. My output log reports n_reads*2 because they are paired end, but it looks like that is not the case for your data. My issue is the "x out of n raw reads are mapped" part:

    [match_data2mapping] 1976956 out of 2000000 raw reads are mapped with 1969400 in pairs.
    -- (total, isPE, mapped, paired) = (2000000, 1, 1976956, 1969400)

    What happened to the remaining 23,044 reads? It is not that they are simply unmapped, as I have a number of unmapped reads in my .sam alignment file.

    Any help much appreciated.

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
