  • Can GSNAP generate SAM/BAM files?

    I am running gsnap with this command:

    gsnap --gunzip -d Drosophila5 -D /home/efoss/gene_databases/GMAP_GSNAP_db/ D09NJACXX_s8_1_illumina12index_8_SL7777.fastq.gz D09NJACXX_s8_2_illumina12index_8_SL7777.fastq.gz > D09NJACXX_s8_illumina12index_8_SL7777.sam

    The output clearly is not in standard sam format. Is it possible to generate standard sam/bam files with gsnap, and if so, how?

    Thank you.

      Hi cedance,

      I see output like this:

      This doesn't match the mandatory fields for a sam file:



      Thank you for the help.

        I remember vaguely but there is a --format=sam parameter to specifically output the results in SAM format. You should check out the parameter list and add it to your command line options accordingly.

          Thanks so much, cedance. I see that that is one of my critical mistakes. I thought I had read through the options carefully, but I guess I hadn't read them carefully enough. I very much appreciate the help.

          Best wishes,

          Eric

            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...
