  • Bowtie2 reference help

    Hi there I am working on paired-end Illumina 2500 data and I wish to check for chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA contamination in it.

    My Illumina data is around 1 Gigabases and I have the whole chloroplast genome and also mitochondrial DNA contigs.

    My question is -

    Will my reference here for bowtie2 for which I have to make the Index be the chloroplast or mitochondrial DNA OR will it be the paired end Illumina data? I am talking about the -x command in bowtie2

    I want to compare them so I can remove contaminant chloroplast/mitochondrial DNA.

    I was thinking about making the paired end Illumina data as my reference index and then align the relatively shorter chloroplast DNA/ mitochondrial DNA contigs to it. However I have no idea how to make a reference of paired end data even after reading the manual.

    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    Found the answer.

    Make a multi fasta file combining the choloroplast and mitochondrial DNA and use it as an index.

    Alternatively can just keep the unmapped reads to filter out the contamination.

      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...
