  • Could not locate a bowtie index corresponding to basename -- tried posted solutions

    Hi,

    I am running on Ubuntu 16 and am trying to analyze my data with Bowtie2. I have managed to get this exact script to work on a windows machine running cygwin, but can't figure out this problem that arose on Linux.

    I am getting the classic "Could not located Bowtie index corresponding to basename "directory", yet I have listed a path directing to the base file name 'mm10', not the folder as many people here have posted about before.

    Things that I have tried:

    Changing to directory the index is located and running bowtie2.

    Adding the directory the index is located in to PATH.

    Placed the index in a folder in the bowtie2 directory, in my downloads directory, and the desktop. All with the same result.

    I have tried building an index from scratch or downloading a prebuilt one from bowtie2.

    I am running the code within a script to align multiple reads, but I have also tried manually calling bowtie to individual fastq files.
    Code:
    bowtie2 index:
    /user/home/Downloads/mm10/mm10
    call to bowtie2: 
    bowtie2 --local --very-sensitive-local --no-unal -q --phred33 --threads 12 -x /user/home/Downloads/mm10/mm10 -U BS_P384R_S_S30_L002_R1_001.fastq > BS_P384R_S
    Could not locate a Bowtie index corresponding to basename "/user/home/Downloads/mm10/mm10"
    Error: Encountered internal Bowtie 2 exception (#1)

    Any suggestions on something to try?

    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...
