  • Input to BWA from multiple Lanes

    hi,

    I have paired end data from multiple lanes (illumina pipleine) in qseq format.
    i convert all the qseq files to fastq lane wise.
    Combine the first sequences in one file and the next sequences in the other file of a particular lane.
    Then follow the BWA pipeline i.e.
    index the reference, find the suffix array coordinates ('aln') and then use the 'sampe' command to get the sam files.

    But since i have data from multiple lanes, so should i just combine the sam files ?
    or Follow a different workflow for creation of input files(fastq) for BWA ?

    Please provide some suggestions

    Thanks.

    I assume the data from different lines belongs to the same sample. If so, yes, you can merge the BAM files per each line (picard tools) and align with BWA.

      You can use Unix cat to combine files. At the command line, enter "cat file 1.fq file2.fq > combined_file.fq

        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...
