  • Understanding Maq log output

    Hi,

    I have a couple of questions about my Maq map output if anyone knows the answers I'd really appreciate them:

    Code:
    [match_search]  98% processed in 20717.101 sec: 31618863 / 21294334 = 1.485
    [match_search]  99% processed in 20765.187 sec: 28388678 / 20109661 = 1.412
    [match_search] 100% processed in 20768.725 sec: 1164880 / 1048335 = 1.111
    [match_core] sorting the hits and dumping the results...
    [ma_load_reads] loading reads...
    [ma_load_reads] 2000000*2 reads loaded.
    [mapping_count_single] 7, 11, 16, 27
    [maq_indel_pe] the indel detector only works with short-insert mate-pair reads.
    [match_data2mapping] 1922258 out of 4000000 raw reads are mapped with 0 in pairs.
    -- (total, isPE, mapped, paired) = (2000000, 0, 1922258, 0)
    First, what is the "mapping_count_single" - what do these 4 numbers mean?

    Second, this file contained 2,000,000 reads (8 million lines in fastq format), so how come the logfile says x out of 4000000 raw reads are mapped?

    Many Thanks
    Anna

    I have a similar issue. My output log reports n_reads*2 because they are paired end, but it looks like that is not the case for your data. My issue is the "x out of n raw reads are mapped" part:

    [match_data2mapping] 1976956 out of 2000000 raw reads are mapped with 1969400 in pairs.
    -- (total, isPE, mapped, paired) = (2000000, 1, 1976956, 1969400)

    What happened to the remaining 23,044 reads? It is not that they are simply unmapped, as I have a number of unmapped reads in my .sam alignment file.

    Any help much appreciated.

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
