    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...

                Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
                by SEQadmin2



                CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

                Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

                Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
                by SEQadmin2


                Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

                Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
                by SEQadmin2



                Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
