Hello I'm trying to align a bowtie2 index file with a fasta file. No matter what I do it ends with value of 1. How do I stop this?

Try building the index for "genome.fa" first:
Then "-x genome" would be the proper method to specify where the indices are (from your current path at least).Code:bowtie2-build genome.fa genome

Thanks for the reply. I tried that and got a Error. Empty fasta? This is a index I downloaded from I genomeOriginally posted by dpryan View Post

Presumably the fasta file is empty or non-existent then.Comment

The genome.fa file? and if so how should I go about fixing that because its from the Igenome Cow setOriginally posted by dpryan View PostComment

Well, have a look at the file. How big is it? Does it actually exist? If it does exist and seems to have a reasonable size, is it where you're telling bowtie2?Comment
-
Honestly it exist and all that. Checked it out in linux and windows.Originally posted by dpryan View Post

Given the file names, you want "-x genome", not "-x genome.fa". The documentation on this could probably be improved.
BTW, it looks like the fasta file has serious problems. It should be MUCH larger than 1KB.Comment

@Milestailsprowe: That genome.fa may be a softlink for the full genome.fa file in the "WholeGenomeFasta" directory under the "Sequence" folder. Can you check to see if that file is large?
Do yourself a favor and don't use spaces in names (external drives/files/directories). It is going to get you in trouble down the road. Anytime you feel like using a space replace that with an "_".Comment

It appears that in one our your attempts to run bowtie you may have overwritten the original genome.fa file (you can see that genome.fa has a current "modified" date where as the rest of the files are dated from 2012/2013) .
If you have the original tar archive you should re-extract it to restore the original set of files/folders. If not, you will need to re-download the tar archive from iGenomes.Last edited by GenoMax; 06-09-2015, 05:41 PM.Comment

Ok untared another one and now have a 2.7gig File thanks. Should I try to align the file in the WHOLE gene folder or the one in the bowtie2 indexOriginally posted by GenoMax View PostComment

You should align using bowtie2 index (you only specify "basename" of the index). Option to use in your case (replace full_path_to with real value) will be
Code:-x /full_path_to/Sequence/Bowtie2Index/genome

exit with code 1
Hi, how do you solve your problems by re-downloaded the genome from iGenomes? Do you regenerate the indexes based on the new genome from iGenomes?Originally posted by Milestailsprowe View Post
I am also running to the same issue.Comment

Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM
