  • 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

    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...
