    SOAP2 -v doesn't work

    SOAP2 -v maximum number of mismatches allowed on a read

    I have tried -v 3 -v 2 -v 4 for 50bp read, but the maximum number of mismatch in the output is always 2. there are no read wish mismatch 3 or more.



    my command:
    soap -a reads/PT0012.3_1.fastq -b reads/PT0012.3_2.fastq -D genome.fa.index -m 0 -x 500000 -u 3.unmap -o 3.paired -2 3.unpaired -v 3 -r 2 -p 2




    Usage: soap [options]
    -a <str> query a file, *.fq, *.fa
    -b <str> query b file
    -D <str> reference sequences indexing table, *.index format
    -o <str> output alignment file(txt)
    -M <int> match mode for each read or the seed part of read, which shouldn't contain more than 2 mismaches, [4]
    0: exact match only
    1: 1 mismatch match only
    2: 2 mismatch match only
    4: find the best hits
    -u <str> output unmapped reads file
    -t output reads id instead reads name, [none]
    -l <int> align the initial n bps as a seed [256] means whole length of read
    -n <int> filter low-quality reads containing >n Ns before alignment, [5]
    -r [0,1,2] how to report repeat hits, 0=none; 1=random one; 2=all, [1]
    -m <int> minimal insert size allowed, [400]
    -x <int> maximal insert size allowed, [600]
    -2 <str> output file of unpaired alignment hits
    -v <int> maximum number of mismatches allowed on a read. [5] bp
    -s <int> minimal alignment length (for soft clip) [255] bp
    -g <int> one continuous gap size allowed on a read. [0] bp
    -R for long insert size of pair end reads RF. [none](means FR pair)
    -e <int> will not allow gap exist inside n-bp edge of a read, default=5
    -p <int> number of processors to use, [1]

    You have to use it with some combination of -M # . I'm not sure why but that's what I've been told.

      what‘ that mean? If i want to find alignment with 3 mismatch, how to set the parameter M?

        Sorry I can't help more, a co-worker told me of that difference btw SOAP and SOAP2 so that's about all I know. I'll ask him later today to see if he's figured out more of the rules.

        It would be nice if there was a better standard for documentation of Bioinformatics apps. Seems like the only way to use some of these programs correctly is to contact the author.

            Hello everybody,

            Does anybody knows how to deal with that problem?
            I would like to work with 4 mismatches per read and I don't know how to do...

                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
