  • Bowtie Output Information

    Does anyone know how to find out % aligned reads from a bowtie output file? Is there a command to do it? Is it there somewhere in the file? I did not save this information for my output files and would like to get it now.

    Thanks,
    Priyanka Surana

      I have the bowtie output in the default format not the sam format. Is there a way to convert the already existing bowtie default output to sam format which I could then convert to bam of course.

      Thanks

        Hi psurana,

        This does not answer your question directly but may help you out: Bowtie can output alignment in the sam format. So if you can not find a solution to your problem, you may redo the alignment with option -S (or --sam)

          Thanks, I might try that.

            I'm pretty sure that bowtie's default alignment will output one line for each aligned read, and no lines for each unaligned read, so you could do a wc -l on the file, and just count how many lines there are, and that's how many reads aligned.

              Default bowtie

              Hi I am just wondering if you run bowtie with -v 0 (meaning no mismatches are allowed in the alignment) and -a (meaning mulitple alignments are allowed) is the last column the number of times the read maps to the genome? 0 indicating that the alignment is unique?

                Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
                by seqadmin



                The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

                Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
                by seqadmin



                Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
