when attempting to build an index using bowtie-build on a fasta genome file that is 2.1 MB, it does not create the .rev files, it produces 1.ebwt 2.ewbt 3.ebwt 4.ebwt but not the rev files. This is my first time using bowtie, all the parameters are the default options. Thanks

if there is any other information you need to help me with this issue, please let me know. I have a 64 bity system with 2GB of ram and 65 GB of hard drive space free. I am using the latest 64 bit version of Ubuntu linux. -
Hi plasticdeath,
Sorry, the reply is 3 years late.
I think you might be running bowtie-build with some *.fastq files, which would only generate 4 ebwt files;
Try *.fasta then you will get all 6 index.ebwt files you want.
Typically, we should run de-novo assembly softwares first to get the assemblied fasta file. Like Velvet, SOAPdenovo etc.
After de novo assembly, we could run Bowtie to generate index files, then run bowtie to do the alignment.
hope this reply would be ok.Comment

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...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
