  • PhiX removal

    Hi all,
    I am trying to removed Phix reads from my miseq data but I keep on getting
    # reads processed: 839305
    # reads with at least one reported alignment: 0 (0.00%)
    # reads that failed to align: 839305 (100.00%)
    No alignments
    The bowtie command used is - bowtie PhiX_index --sam --al aligned.fq --un unaligned.fq -1 ~/misedata/phixinput/13_S13_L001_R1_001.fastq.out -2 ~/misedata/phixinput/13_S13_L001_R2_001.fastq.out S13.sam

    could someone tell me where the problem is?
    Thanks,
    Joshua

    Your sequencing facility may have already removed the phiX sequences when they processed your data. The result you are looking at may be real i.e. there is no phiX sequence in your sample file. You should ask the facility if they have removed phiX sequences.

      I agree with GenoMax - you probably do not have any phiX reads. If you want to test this out you could put part of phiX at the end of your read files (making copies of them first!) and see if you get one hit. In other words deliberately contaminate your reads.

          From iGenomes (if you want Illumina's version, it is there): http://support.illumina.com/sequenci...e/igenome.html This is a package download with indexes etc but you will find the genome fasta file there. If you need it in fastq format then you could made a fake set of Q-scores.

              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...
