    Challenging read mapping problem

    Hi,

    I have about 70Gbp of paired-end data from potato [1] that I'd like to map to one of the chromosomes (chr04). I only want pairs where one end or the other, or both, matches chr04.

    Aside from the scale of the problem, the format of the files is a pain, because each pair is in a different file.

    Any tips on how to do this (efficiently)?

    A prize goes to the best answer ;-)


    Cheers,
    Dan.

    Most of the aligners handle paired data in different files. I do not think it is a problem. Use BWA or other aligner program.

        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.
