I'm having the following issues using bwa mem on paired-end TruSeq Amplicon reads. I used the default settings with mem. The top sequence is from bwa mem. The bottom is from Illumina's BaseSpace analysis.

So based on a reply from biostars it looks like the BaseSpace reads have been trimmed. Now I just need to understand how they trimmed it. This is desirable since my alignment has led to the variant caller calling a lot of false indels.
It's possible that Illumina is trimming the reads based on the regions in their manifest file. If I could do the same then maybe I could get the reads I'm looking for.Comment

You are likely doing an apples to oranges comparison (especially since you don't know the complete details of how BaseSpace analysis is being done). BaseSpace is also likely using isaac/isaac2 for the alignments (or do you know that they are using bwa).
What is it that you are trying to do? Replicate BaseSpace analysis locally (with same software/parameters)?Comment

Is it even the same data? The reads appear to be different lengths.Comment

The reads are from the same fastqs. I'm just trying to figure out why my alignment is looking so messy when the TruSeq Amplicon stuff is supposed to have strictly sized blocks of reads. It is possible they are using the isaac aligner so I'll have to do more tinkering to figure out what is going on.
I'm doing this to move my BaseSpace analyses in-house using bcbio-nextgen.Comment

Is this what you are planning to use: https://github.com/chapmanb/bcbio-nextgen? Does not seem to include a trimming program at first glance (which you should plan to include).Originally posted by idedios View PostComment

Yeah this is exactly what I am using. I could ask Brad Chapman about a trimming program.Originally posted by GenoMax View PostComment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
