  • 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]

    -h this help

    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...

                Advancing Precision Medicine for Rare Diseases in Children
                by seqadmin




                Many organizations study rare diseases, but few have a mission as impactful as Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM). “We are all about changing outcomes for children,” explained Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, President and CEO of the group. The institute’s initial goal was to provide rapid diagnoses for critically ill children and shorten their diagnostic odyssey, a term used to describe the long and arduous process it takes patients to obtain an accurate...
