  • BWA alignment for paired end reads

    hi,

    i am using BWA to align 115bp paired end solexa reads. I have the following doubts :-

    1. Does BWA take the min and max insert sizes for paired end reads ?
    2. What is maximum number of indels calculated by BWA ? Does keeping the indel as 3 will affect the performance ?
    3. How do i get the unaligned reads seperately after using the 'sampe' command? The reads which are not paired and the reads which didn't map at all.
    4. I plan to use samtools for SNP and indel detection. Can i get the reference as well as the consensus coordinate in the pile up format.

    Any help for the above is appreciated.
    Thanks

    1. bwa infers it
    2. hard to say for paired-end reads. could be up to 20bp in some cases
    3. see sam format
    4. it depends on what you exactly want.

      Thanks, for your immediate reply.

      For (2.) can we restrict the indels with the parameters -o and -e in the 'aln' step? What is the ideal value for these parameters given 115bp reads ?

      4. i want the consensus coordinate also in the pileup format with the other fields. How to get it using samtools ?

        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...
