  • SOAP output format - description?

    Hi,

    I have searched the SOAP website and read the paper but I cant find a description for all the columns in the ouput.

    Col1 = Read Seq_ID
    Col2 = Read Sequence
    Col3 = Read Sequence Quality
    Col4 = ? I have the digit 1 here
    Col5 = ? I have the letter 'a' here
    Col6 = Read Length
    Col7 = Strand
    Col8 = Reference Seq_ID
    Col9 = Position of start of read alignment
    Col10= 0/1/2 - I think this is the number of mismatches?
    Col11= base change - cant work out this out eg G->10C7


    Can anyone fill in the blanks for me?

    Regards
    Aengus

    column 4 is uniqueness.

    if you gave it paired end data, a and b signify the two halves of the same paried end read. With single end data, its always a.

    Yes, column 10 is the number of mismatches. The base change the reference letter and its position, and the read's letter and its quality score. The output is a littel trickier with indels.

      I realize this is an old thread, but I had trouble finding the specifics as well. Ended up going to the SOAPv1 page, found the output file description there.

        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...
