    Visualizing Bowtie results in Galaxy

    Hello,

    I have just done my very first run of bowtie, via galaxy. I want to get an idea of whether it worked at all... but I have no idea what the output means! Anyone know of a good link(s) to explain the galaxy output of bowtie?

    When I click the little 'view data' button, I get an output like this:

    QNAME FLAG RNAME POS MAPQ CIGAR MRNM MPOS ISIZE SEQ QUAL OPT
    @HD VN:1.0 SO:unsorted
    @SQ SN:chr2 LN:30794189
    @SQ SN:chr3 LN:19779522
    @SQ SN:chr4_group4 LN:6586962

    I know that QNAME etc. describe various features of the output, but I don't know what exactly they mean or how they may or may not be linked to the many lines of text that come after them (the first four of which I've included here... and which after about 16 lines all look something like this one: @SQ SN:Unknown_group_1 LN:174220).

    I also tried to visualize the data through Trackster, but I'm getting this error:

    "The page at https://usegalaxy.org says: Could not load chroms for this dbkey"

    It seems to me that this is an error with galaxy and the reference genome (which is one of the built-in references), but I don't know how to go about resolving it.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Are you using a local mirror of galaxy or the public install at PSU?

      I'm using the main galaxy server, as far as I know (https://usegalaxy.org).

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
