Hello everyone,
Is it possible to get fastq file as an output file of bowtie tool ?
Thanks.

Normally you would feed bowtie a fastq file as input. Presumably you want a fastq file of the unmapped reads or something like that. Just use the -un flag and supply a file name. If, for some reason, you want the aligned reads (or all of them for that matter) from a SAM file in fastq format, you could just write a trivial shell script to do so (presumably this is also true of the original bowtie output format, which I've never used). -
Hi, thank you for the response. I need unmapped reads from bowtie output. Can you please, explain using of -un flag in detail. Thank You.Last edited by ojham; 07-03-2012, 11:27 AM.Comment

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
