  • wgsim_eval output clarification

    I am an undergraduate student just starting in bioinformatics and my boss has asked me to use wgsim to get a better sense the differences between bowtie2 and BWA. We've run the simulated data through our pipelines to generate sam files and used the commands

    wgsim_eval.pl alneval -ag50 filename.sam

    wgsim_eval.pl alneval -g50 filename.sam


    on each sam file. From another thread I assumed that the column headers when the -a option is used mean: mapping quality threshold, number of mapped reads with a mapping quality no less the the first column and number of mis-mapped reads.

    Could someone please expand on what these column headers mean, what the column headers are when the -a argument is not used, what the -a option actually means (it does not seem to be documented) and finally how ROC curves like those found here were generated from wgsim_eval data.

    Thank you very much!

    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...
