    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

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
