  • How to map SOLiD paired end reads by Bfast

    1. I found that bfast localalign can't support -1 and -2 options. So I'm confused how it works in
    Discussion of next-gen sequencing related bioinformatics: resources, algorithms, open source efforts, etc

    My bfast version is 0.6.4e. Is -1 and -2 work in other versions?

    2. Then I tried to merge 2 paired end fastq files into 1 file and run bfast match. But in the bfast postprocess step how to set -r ReadGroup.txt? Could you please show an simple example?

    3. The MAPQ of sam files generated by bfast is also Phred scaled, right? If so I can set an cutoff to filter them.
    Thanks a lot for you help and time!

    Check out the bfast+bwa version to get that functionality (I assumed you used the bwa functionality instead of bfast match).

    For clarity, if you wish to use BWA's "bwa aln" functionality for paired end reads, then you need to align each end independently, merging them together in "bfast localalign" with the "-1/-2" options. Otherwise, the paired end reads should be merged (automatically in solid2fastq) into one fastq file to be processed by "bfast match".

    See the SAM spec on how to create an RG line.

    You can set a cutoff to filter them yes. Better (higher) mapq should correlate with higher stringency.

      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...
