SOAP aligner output format? and composite quality scores?

[RLamb]

Hi,

could someone please tell me what the output of SOAP aligner looks like (e.g. one sample line, with explanation of what the various items are). The thing is, I want to feed it into SOAPsnp, but I can't use the aligner cause its executables run only on a Unix platform which I don't have (easy) access to (the snp program comes as source code, but I'm not proficient enough in C to sort through it and see what input it takes). I've tried extracting the alignments from my bowtie .map file and reshuffling them in various ways like <position> \t <sequence> \t <quality string> \n, but soapsnp always gives a "Bus error".

On a related matter, does anybody know of a simple, intuitive metric for the quality of a consensus sequence? For example, if a given position (in haploid DNA from a single source, so the real sequence is a single allele) is covered by 5 reads, and it reads A in 3 of them with Phred scores of 15, 25 and 30, and G in the other two with qualities 20 and 30 - what is the probability that the actual sequence is A? What that it's G?

Thanks!
