    Problems running pBWA

    hi,

    I am interested in taking advantage of the parallelised approach of running bwa using pBWA:http://pbwa.sourceforge.net/
    to speed up the sampe step which uses one thread in bwa.

    My interpretation of the guidance is that to useit I just need to adapt my existing bwa command:

    The command that I am using is:
    pBWA aln -t 8 -q 15 -f .R2.sai $ref_genome_folder $input_fastq_R2_untrimmed

    PC is a 4 core (virtualised to 8) with 16GB ram

    but I get the following error:
    [bwa_aln] 17bp reads: max_diff = 2
    [bwa_aln] 38bp reads: max_diff = 3
    [bwa_aln] 64bp reads: max_diff = 4
    [bwa_aln] 93bp reads: max_diff = 5
    [bwa_aln] 124bp reads: max_diff = 6
    [bwa_aln] 157bp reads: max_diff = 7
    [bwa_aln] 190bp reads: max_diff = 8
    [bwa_aln] 225bp reads: max_diff = 9
    Proc 0: [bwa_seq_open] seeked to 0 in /PathTo_raw_data/s_5_1_sequence.txt
    Broadcasting BWT (this may take a while)... done!
    Broadcasting BWT (this may take a while)... [bwt_restore_bwt] fail to open file '/pathTo_ref_genomes/ucsc_hg19/ucsc_hg19.fa.rbwt'. Abort!
    Aborted (core dumped)

    The indexed genome that I successfully with bwawas generated by the bwa index refGenome.fasta command. Do I need to do anything different with respect to the ref genome index for pBWA?

    Any pointers would be appreciated

      Check the hint,
      fail to open file '/pathTo_ref_genomes/ucsc_hg19/ucsc_hg19.fa.rbwt'

      probably you have to index the genome again

      Cheers

        The problem is that newer versions of BWA (from 0.6.x) create fewer output files because foward and reverse indices are now one. To make pBWA work you have to download an old version of BWA (try 0.5.5, it worked for me ), and create a new index. And make sure you have the following files before executing pBWA:

        hg19.amb
        hg19.ann
        hg19.bwt
        hg19.fa
        hg19.pac
        hg19.rbwt
        hg19.rpac
        hg19.rsa
        hg19.sa


        Cheers

          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
