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.
.
Any suggestions on something to try?
