    Use library in Deconseq to remove human genome

    Hello,

    I am using Deconseq to remove human sequences from fastq files generated by Myseq Illumina. I created the database with the human sequences using:

    bwa64 index -p hs_ref_GRCh38_p2 -a bwtsw hs_ref_GRCh38_p2_split_PS.fa.fasta > bwa.log 2 >&1
    This as created a series of files that I placed in a subfolder named refChr. The list of files is:
    hs_ref_GRCh38_p2.amb hs_ref_GRCh38_p2.pac hs_ref_GRCh38_p2.sa
    hs_ref_GRCh38_p2.ann hs_ref_GRCh38_p2.rbwt hs_ref_GRCh38_p2_split.fa
    hs_ref_GRCh38_p2.bwt hs_ref_GRCh38_p2.rpac hs_ref_GRCh38_p2_split.fa.log
    hs_ref_GRCh38_p2.fa hs_ref_GRCh38_p2.rsa hs_ref_GRCh38_p2_split_PS.fa.fasta

    I then ran the following command to use Deconseq:
    ~$ perl /usr/bin/deconseq.pl -f fu_1.fq -dbs ./refChr/hs_ref_GRCh38_p2 -i 90 -c 90 -out_dir DECONSEQ
    But I got the following error:
    ERROR: database "./refChr/hs_ref_GRCh38_p2" does not exist in config file.

    Try 'deconseq -h' for more information.
    Exit program.

    I tried with '/refChr/...' and 'refChr/...' and also with '...hs_ref_GRCh38_p2.fa' and '...hs_ref_GRCh38_p2.sa' but same error.
    Would you have some tips on how to use the library to remove the human contaminants?
    Thank you
    G

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    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.
