  • 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?

                Recent Developments in Metagenomics
                by seqadmin





                Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...

                Understanding Genetic Influence on Infectious Disease
                by seqadmin




                During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.

                Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...
