  • strange bowtie index building and mapping problem

    Hello everyone,
    I have met a quite strange problem when running bowtie for my SOLID sequencing result.
    I have succeeded to build bowtie colorspace index for chimpanzee whole genome, but when I run bowtie , it showed the error like:
    "run_bowtie.sh: line 32: 1898 Segmentation fault $bowtie -C --phred33-quals -n 3 -a -m 3 --best --strata -p 4 -S $index -q $infile $out_dir/$out_name
    "
    Then I checked the output, the output just contain sam header and a few line of alignment result. The strange thing is that the sam header is like this(chromosome name is incorrect):
    @HD VN:1.0 SO:unsorted
    @SQ SN:IB<8D><EA>^RP<F3>{<<FD><FA><93>ދ<FC>^X%^M<C3>^R^V<DA>A LN:135001995
    @SQ SN:1 LN:8402541
    @SQ SN:2 LN:134204764
    @SQ SN:3 LN:8412303
    @SQ SN:4 LN:135371336

    @SQ SN:8 LN:107349158
    @SQ SN:9 LN:2108736
    @SQ SN:10 LN:100063422
    @SQ SN:11 LN:3087076
    @SQ SN:12 LN:90682376
    @SQ SN:13 LN:6370548
    @SQ SN:14 LN:83384210
    @SQ SN:15 LN:5078517
    @SQ SN:16 LN:77261746
    @SQ SN:17 LN:1841920
    @SQ SN:18 LN:64473437
    @SQ SN:19 LN:2407237
    ......

    I have done same procedure for human, the sam header is :
    @HD VN:1.0 SO:unsorted
    @SQ SN:chr10 LN:135534747
    @SQ SN:chr11 LN:135006516
    @SQ SN:chr11_gl000202_random LN:40103
    @SQ SN:chr12 LN:133851895
    @SQ SN:chr13 LN:115169878
    @SQ SN:chr14 LN:107349540
    @SQ SN:chr15 LN:102531392
    @SQ SN:chr16 LN:90354753
    @SQ SN:chr17_ctg5_hap1 LN:1680828
    .....

    So it seems bowtie either didn't build a correct colorspace index or read the index incorrectly. By the way, I have checked the chimpanzee genome I used, it seems OK(the chromosome name is chr1,chr2a, .....chrX, ...).

    Have anybody met the same problem before? I am quite precious to hear your suggestion.

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    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...
