  • BBMap pileup questions

    I am interested in metrics that summarise coverage from my BAM file. I came across BBMap pileup which does a decent job. But I have a couple of questions.

    1. It seems like if a window is provided to pileup, it returns the sum over the given window. Can other metrics such as sum/mean/median/min/max/sd/mad be calculated? I am particularly interested in the median.

    2. Does pileup do only fixed windows or can it do sliding window metrics?

    3. BBMap pileup returns a summary over the whole file to the console like below:

    Average coverage: 71.19
    Standard deviation: 198.58
    Percent scaffolds with any coverage: 100.00
    Percent of reference bases covered: 97.66

    Can this be saved to a file? I tried '> summary.txt' at the end of my script but that didn't work.

    Thanks,
    Roy

    Have you tried using "out=" to save the results to a file.

      Hallo,

      I assembled metagenomic reads and want to know how many reads are mapping to the contigs.

      I created a sam file using bbwrap for paired-end libraries with singletons. So the sam files consist of paired and unpared reads.

      The log file of bbwrap shows me that for different samples reads are mapped usually 40-70% of the paired and 30-50% of the singeltons. However, the pileup log files say that in all samples 48-49% of reads were mapped. This makes no sense to me.

      I used v 37.78 and activated physical coverage.
      Can pileup not handle paired end + singletons in the same file?


      Edit:
      it seems that it's due to the physical cov.

        There is still something strange.

        in the log file of bbwrap I have


        Code:
        * | Paired end | Se
        -- | -- | --
        Total reads | 2 x 16895000 | 31401969
        mapped | 2x 13408609 | 29907540
        * | * | *
        mapped | 79% | 95%
        Which seem to be correct. e.g. the number of unmapped reads are found in `outu`


        in the logfile of pilup it is written:
        Code:
        Reads: | 27370533
        -- | --
        Mapped reads: | 26817218
        Mapped bases: | 4022582700
        Ref scaffolds: | 851270
        Ref bases: | 1216084673
        * | *
        Percent mapped: | 97.978
        Percent proper pairs: | 97.978
        I have no Idea, how pilup finds only 27370533 reads.

          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...
