    Assertion failed error in BFAST localalign

    Hi all, I'm getting the following error when trying to combine bfast and bwa mapped reads. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    command:
    bfast localalign -f rna.fasta -1 p1.f3.reads.bmf -2 p1.f5.reads.bfm -A 1 -t -U -n 4 > p1.reads.baf

    error:
    Assertion failed: (0 == strcmp(m->readName, r2_name)), function RGMatchesRead_2bmf, file RGMatches.c, line 51.
    Abort trap
    Assertion failed: (0 == strcmp(m->readName, r2_name)), function RGMatchesRead_2bmf, file RGMatches

    Looks like your reads are not in the same order within the two files (also p1.f5.reads.bfm should be p1.f5.read.bmf). Take a look at your input FASTQ files to make sure the read names are in the same order.

      The first and last 100 lines of reads are in the same order. I've renamed the f5 files to bmf (which was a typo when making the files). Could that be responsible?

        Changed the name and still the same error. How could I ensure that all the names are in the same order?

          Where are you getting your FASTQ from?

            From the solid2fastq script that came with bfast+bwa. I made a seperate fastq for each of the F3 and F5 reads rather than paired.

              Ah, you have to make them together. You cannot convert them unpaired then input them as paired.

                Oh, I was following the flow from here: http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthr...ight=bfast+bwa

                So, you make the fastq paired, then map using the same fastq file for the f3 and f5 seperately?

                  From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
                  by SEQadmin2


                  Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


                  The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

                  Single-Cell Sequencing at an Inflection Point: Early Impacts of New Platforms and Emerging Trends
                  by SEQadmin2


                  With the launch of new single-cell sequencing platforms in 2026, the field stands at an exciting inflection point. This article surveys the most impactful advances in the field and discusses how they’re reshaping research in cancer, immunology, and beyond.


                  Introduction

                  Single-cell sequencing technologies have undergone remarkable advances over the past decade, transitioning from low-throughput experimental approaches to highly scalable platforms capable of...

                  Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies
                  by SEQadmin2

                  Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.


                  Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
