BWA, BowTie Database
I am experimenting with BowTie vs BWA. Now, I have to do experiments for various length reads. So, I am trying to find 180, 200, 240 bp read length databases. Can anybody help me where and how I can get those databases. I have tried to find here. However, unable to find. Can anybody help me on this ? Thanks in advance.

Why not simulate reads? For example DWGSIM. -
Sorry, I have very few idea about above. What that DWGSIM or simulate reads does ? Does BWA, BowTie accepts that ? It's a simple school project and I have very few idea on this. I have to give just comparison resultsOriginally posted by adaptivegenome View Post

DWGSIM generates simulated read data. You can define how long the reads should be and this data can be then mapped using BWA or BOWTIE. Read the documentation, its easy to use.Comment

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.
Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...06-18-2026, 07:11 AM -
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.
