    bowtie2 fun

    OK, folks

    Who here has used bowtie2-build on a database >4GB in size?

    When I try it with the latest Beta3 release with the 64Bit binary (which is supposed to allow databases > 4GB, it spits and dies during bowtie2-build with:

    Error: Reference sequence has more than 2^32-1 characters! Please divide the
    reference into batches or chunks of about 3.6 billion characters or less each
    and index each independently.

    Just wondering if anyone has successfully build an index using any releases of bowtie2 on large dbs.

    For mappers that index the genomes, RTGinvestigator/bwa-0.6 are known to work with >4GB genomes. Agile is likely to support long genomes, too. Mappers that index the reads (e.g. maq) may work large genomes if one chromosome is no longer than 2GB.

    Supporting >4GB genomes is non-trivial and usually comes at a cost.

      ok, this might be a dumb question but where did you get the bowtie2 src file? The manual say to look for "the filename that ends in "-src.zip". There is no bowtie....-src.zip file on the bowtie sourceforge site that I can find. Only the one for 0.12.7.

        nevermind. I found it. It just didn't have the "-src" in the name. Grrr.

          Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
          by seqadmin




          The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

          New Genomics Tools and Methods Shared at AGBT 2025
          by seqadmin


          This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

          The Headliner
          The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...
