  • Kraken2 - unmapped sequences during the first step of building the database

    Hello,
    I am trying to build a costumed database, including all reference genomes of fungi, bacteria, archaea, viruses, and Homo sapiens.

    I am facing a problem in the first step: Creating sequence ID to taxonomy ID map.
    I had a message saying:

    Found 10361157/19252012 targets, searched through 948300298 accession IDs..
    lookup_accession_numbers: 8890855/19252012 accession numbers remain unmapped, see unmapped.txt in DB directory
    Sequence ID to taxonomy ID map complete. [17m6. 413s]
    I tried those 3 codes separately:

    $kraken2-build --build --db microbialDB/ --threads 3
    $kraken-build --build --db microbialDB/ --kmer-len 100 --threads 3
    $kraken2-build --build --threads 3 --fast-build --db microbialDB/ --kmer-len 100
    But with all the 3 codes, the same thing happens. I always have unmapped sequences which can affect my taxonomic classification after.

    I tried with fix_unmapped.py from KrakenTools, but it does not change anything:

    $python3 fix_unmapped.py -i unmapped.txt --accession2taxid microbialDB/taxonomy/nucl_gb.accession2taxid -o output.map -r still_unmapped.txt
    $python3 fix_unmapped.py -i unmapped.txt --accession2taxid microbialDB/taxonomy/nucl_wgs.accession2taxid -o output.map -r still_unmapped.txt


    Does anyone have an idea how to solve the problem?
    Thanks in advance

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    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...
