Hello, a quick question for anybody familiar with bowtie. In my reference genome files, which have names like SVID_XXX, the first line of text, before the actual sequence data is a line like >Chromosome, or >ContigXXXX, .... In the bowtie output data, Chromosome or ContigXXXX shows up as the file name it mapped to instead of SVID_XXX, the actual file name. My question is this, is bowtie taking the > symbol in the first line of text as a command to redirect to this file name or whatever comes after it in that line? I know that > redirects output to a file, but why does this happen in bowtie since the file already has a file name, and > only shows up in the first line of a text file? I hope this makes sense, any thoughts?

Your reference genome files are FASTA files.
The FASTA file format is simple.
There is one line, starting with the symbol ">" which describes the sequence.
The first word after ">" is the name of the sequence.
Following the sequence description is the sequence itself.
Bowtie and all programs dealing with raw genomic data are written to be able to parse FASTA files.
The FASTA format has nothing to do with the Unix redirection operator, and dates back to 1985.Last edited by blancha; 11-13-2015, 07:50 PM.

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...-

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...-
