  • Bowtie2 and 2 GB limit

    I don't think I've posted this before.

    I am attempting to do some mapping with bowtie2, and, despite any of my best efforts, I cannot get bowtie2-build to work on anything larger than 2 GB. From the announcement, it appears that the builders say that they've fixed the limitation (presumably by switching to 64 bit variables), but even when I compile with 64 bits, it still spits this error:
    Error: Reference sequence has more than 2^32-1 characters! Please divide the
    reference into batches or chunks of about 3.6 billion characters or less each
    and index each independently.
    has anyone else had any luck?

    Out of interest what organism are you working on and how long are your contigs/chromosomes? I'm interested because the BAM index files (BAI) themselves currently impose quite a low limit on reference lengths - something that plant biologists at least may find a problem.

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

      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...
