    Is SRA format to vcf conversion possible

    Hi,

    I am new to SRA format. Can anyone give me an introduction.
    I wanted to convert SRA format to vcf format.
    I have checked in SRAToolkit. It does not support direct conversion of SRA to VCF. One option i am having is that first i have to convert to fastaq and then to SAM/BAM and then i should call variants.

    Can anyone please help me?

    This is correct. The SRA data is converted to FASTQ. Then you must map the FASTQ data to a reference genome and once you have done this, you can generate a VCF using a variant caller.

      Hi,

      I generated the SAM file using bowtie version0.12.7 but i am not able to generate a proper bcf file.BCF file is genertaed within 2 minutes and normally it will take time.The commands i gave is

      time ./fastq-dump SRR068289.sra

      I have falidated the fastaq using fastaqvalidator and it was successful


      time ./bowtie -k 2 -v 2 hg19 -q /store/data/amruta/sratoolkit.2.1.8-centos_linux64/12JAN/SRR068289.fastq -S > /store/data/amruta/sratoolkit.2.1.8-centos_linux64/12JAN/bowtie1-amruta.sam

      From sam file bam was generated and using samtools bcf and vcf were generated
      ./samtools view -bS bowtie1-amruta.sam > bowtie1-amruta.sam
      my.flt.vcf
      samtools sort filename.bam sorted
      samtools faidx input.reference.fa
      samtools index sortedhg19.bam
      samtools mpileup -d 8000 -uf input.reference.fa my.sortedhg19.bam | bcftools view -bvcg -> my.raw.bcf
      bcftools view my.raw.bcf | perl vcfutils.pl varFilter -D8000 > my.flt.vcf

      My fastaq file is a huge in size.So i tried with bowtie 2 beta version.But i am not able to run bowtie2

      ./bowtie2 -x hg19 -u file.fataq -S out.sam

      The error was "Error: Encountered internal Bowtie 2 exception (#1)"
      Can anyone please help

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          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

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
