  • bwa outputs bam with less reads than in input fastq

    I downloaded a publicly available bam file and ran samtools flagstat on it. The output is here:

    482805326 + 0 in total (QC-passed reads + QC-failed reads)
    0 + 0 duplicates
    235328156 + 0 mapped (48.74%:nan%)
    482805326 + 0 paired in sequencing
    241402663 + 0 read1
    241402663 + 0 read2
    235328156 + 0 properly paired (48.74%:nan%)
    235328156 + 0 with itself and mate mapped
    0 + 0 singletons (0.00%:nan%)
    0 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr
    0 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>=5)

    Next, I extracted reads from the bam into two fasta files. The sum of reads in both was 482805326, so equal as in the bam. I aligned the fastq files again (bwa aln and bwa sampe), and ran samtools flagstat on the resulting bam. Here is the output:

    387280125 + 0 in total (QC-passed reads + QC-failed reads)
    0 + 0 duplicates
    387280125 + 0 mapped (100.00%:nan%)
    387280125 + 0 paired in sequencing
    194031131 + 0 read1
    193248994 + 0 read2
    375578347 + 0 properly paired (96.98%:nan%)
    381759377 + 0 with itself and mate mapped
    5520748 + 0 singletons (1.43%:nan%)
    5108005 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr
    4124551 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>=5)

    And what I don't understand is where is almost 100M reads gone? I haven't found any information on bwa removing unmapped/bad quality/duplicate reads, so I am wondering. Any hints?

    I am using bwa 0.5.9-r16

    Same here

    I have this same problem. Did you ever figure out how to fix it?

    Update: The missing reads in the bam file were due to the following error:
    [bwa_sai2sam_pe_core] print alignments... [E::sam_parse1] CIGAR and query sequence are of different length
    [W::sam_read1] parse error at line 11261615
    [main_samview] truncated file.

    All of this happened after I switched to a new reference genome (mm10). I'm not getting the error with mm9. I don't have a good explanation but I think that the version of mm10 I tried to use must have been somehow corrupted.

      Note the "100%" mapped metric, which means that the unmapped reads were excluded from the output.

        Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
        by seqadmin



        The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...
