  • Convert Maq's out put to fasta/fastq?

    Hi!

    I would like to know whether it's possible to convert Maq's out put (out.aln.txt file, after running maq mapview or the unmapped reads files, by incorporating the u option in maq map) back to a fasta/fastq format so that it can be re-used in Maq/ other assemblers.

    Thanks

    Not totally sure, but I know that the Vancouver Short Read Analysis Package has a tool for converting Maq to BED (http://vancouvershortr.wiki.sourcefo...t/ConvertToBed) and that Aaron Quinlan's BEDTools have a script for generating BED --> fasta.

    Hope that helps! Definitely not the most direct way though for sure. :P

      R/BioConductor can do this easily, by importing the MAQ output into an AlignedRead object, creating a ShortReadQ object from that, and then exporting a fastq file.

        mapview to fastq:

        maq mapview maq_map_file |awk '{print "@"$1"\n"$15"\n+\n"$16}' > fastq_file

        mapview to fasta:

        maq mapview maq_map_file |awk '{print ">"$1"\n"$15}'> fasta_file

        unmapped reads file to fastq

        awk '{print "@"$1"\n"$3"\n+\n"$4}' unmapped_reads_file > fastq_file

          I've tried your suggetions. I'm able to create the fastq files with awk and convert that to bfq format required for MAQ. But running MAQ with the bfq files gives me a error:
          Assertion failed: (fp_bfq_l), function ma_match.cc, line 557.
          Any suggestions why this might happen?

            If your fastq name is too long, >35 characters, Maq will delete the front exceed characters, so at this situation, you can't get the actual primary fastq back.
            And the primary fastq paired-end reads, every reads in pe1.fastq file should be corresponding to the same line of pe2.fastq file, so you should sort the name of reads in mapview file at first.

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
