  • Bowtie colorspace output has less NT than input reads

    Hi,

    I am using bowtie for colorspace alignment. My data are 35nt reads (36nt if the first T is included). In the bowtie default output file, the decoded sequence space reads has only 33 NT displayed.

    my command is:

    bowtie -t -q -p 7 -C -n 3 -a --best MyGenomeSeq MyInput.fastq > MyOutput.aln &

    Could anyone explain this?

    Thanks,
    Song Li

    Hi SongLi,
    one of the options in bowtie is trimimng bases from:
    " -5/--trim5 <int>
    Trim <int> bases from high-quality (left) end of each read before alignment (default: 0).

    -3/--trim3 <int>
    Trim <int> bases from low-quality (right) end of each read before alignment (default: 0). "

    maybe you used it?

      Hi,

      Thank you for the reply. My command is included in my previous post. I did not use --trim unless it was default for colorspace alignment.

      Best,
      Song

              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...
