  • Casava 1.8 Fastq format for using with BWA

    Hello,

    I'm mapping paired-end reads coming from Illumina HiScanSQ using BWA
    and I'm wondering if BWA correctly recognizes the Fastq sequence identifier line as
    used by Casava 1.8.

    For instance, if I have the following line in my Fastq
    @EAS139:136:FC706VJ:2:2104:15343:197393 1:Y:18:ATCACG
    do I have to change it to, say,
    @EAS139:136:FC706VJ:2:2104:15343:197393#1
    so that BWA knows that this read is the first one in a read pair.

    The version of BWA is bwa-0.5.9rc1

    Thanks in advance !

    Make that

      Thanks !

      Is it crucial to keep the "#0" ( or "#ATCACG" ) part in the transformed sequence ?

        Bwa doesn't know that it's read 1 because of the name. It's not that smart. You give it two fastq files, and the first is all the read 1 reads, and the second is the read 2 reads, and it assumes that the first reads of each is a pair, and the second read of each is a pair, etc. If that assumption is wrong, it's not going to read the names and figure out how things should really be paired. It's going to go with that assumption, and give you very odd pairs.

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          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...

          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...
