  • Bfast alignement with paired end reads in separate files

    Hello,

    I am dealing with Illumina paired end reads (100 + 100) and I am trying to align them by using bfast. The point is that they are in separate files, and I am wondering which is the best way to proceed. My attempt:

    1. bfast match:
    Code:
    bfast match -f hg19.fa -A 0  -g -r reads_file_pair_1.fastq.gz -i 1 -K 8 -M 128 -w 0 > pair_1.bmf
    bfast match -f hg19.fa -A 0  -g -r reads_file_pair_2.fastq.gz -i 1 -K 8 -M 128 -w 0 > pair_2.bmf
    2. bfast localalign:

    Code:
    bfast localalign -f hg19.fa -m pair_1.bmf -m pair_2.bmf -n 4 -A 0 -U > sample.baf
    3. bfast postprocess

    Code:
    bfast postprocess -i sample.baf -f hg19.fa -a 3 -z -A 0 -R -O 1 -n 4 -U | gzip > sample.sam.gz
    I am concerned specially in step 2; I am used to use two .bmf files (one per paired-end) in the bfast localign command when they have been outputted by the bfast bwaaln command (using "-1" and "-2" arguments), but I've never done so with bafst match output files.

    Tahnk you very much in advance,

    Test it out to see what happens. You should be pleasantly surprised.

      Unfortunately, I think it does not work, the bfast localign seems to take into account only the second passed .bmf file:

      Code:
      bfast localalign -f hg19.fasta -m dummy_p1.bmf -m dummy_p2.bmf -n 4 -A 0 -U > dummy.baf
      The stdoutput when executing this command:
      Code:
      ************************************************************
      Printing Program Parameters:

      ************************************************************
      And effectively, I've checked the .sam file obtained after the bfast postprocess step and the aligned reads are only those of the second "end-reads" file.

      Am I doing something wrong? Btw, I am using the bfast+bwa-0.6.4e.

      Thanks,
      David

        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...
