  • Bowtie default parameters

    Hello,

    I have a very simple question about bowtie:

    If I run bowtie without explicitly specifying the mode, the default mode should be used (which is -n mode), right? Now, if I don't specify neither the number of mismatches (-N) nor seed length (-L), what are the default parameters for N and L then?

    Thank you in advance,

    TP

    For bowtie2

    -N <int> max # mismatches in seed alignment; can be 0 or 1 (0)
    -L <int> length of seed substrings; must be >3, <32 (22)

    N = 0 and L = 22.
    Presets: Same as:
    For --end-to-end:
    --very-fast -D 5 -R 1 -N 0 -L 22 -i S,0,2.50
    --fast -D 10 -R 2 -N 0 -L 22 -i S,0,2.50
    --sensitive -D 15 -R 2 -N 0 -L 22 -i S,1,1.15 (default)
    --very-sensitive -D 20 -R 3 -N 0 -L 20 -i S,1,0.50

    For --local:
    --very-fast-local -D 5 -R 1 -N 0 -L 25 -i S,1,2.00
    --fast-local -D 10 -R 2 -N 0 -L 22 -i S,1,1.75
    --sensitive-local -D 15 -R 2 -N 0 -L 20 -i S,1,0.75 (default)
    --very-sensitive-local -D 20 -R 3 -N 0 -L 20 -i S,1,0.50

      Yeah, that's for bowtie 2. I used the original version of bowtie. I wonder if they kept the same default parameters...

        The default values of n and l for bowtie are different.

        See the bowtie manual

          N and L are not valid options for bowtie 1.0 (but n and l are)

          -n/--seedmms <int> max mismatches in seed (can be 0-3, default: -n 2)
          -e/--maqerr <int> max sum of mismatch quals across alignment for -n (def: 70)
          -l/--seedlen <int> seed length for -n (default: 28)

              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...
