    BWASW doesn't complete

    I'm attempting to sequence 250bp reads from an Illumina MiSeq using BWA 0.6.2 on a 64-bit CentOS 6.2 virtual machine.

    I previously had the bwa index step freeze on me, but found some advice that 6 GB was needed. After bumping my VM up to 6 GB of RAM that indexing step does indeed now complete.

    But now as I attempt the alignment with bwa bwasw, I get the following output and then the machine hangs and doesn't get any further.

    [/mnt/hgfs/Data/NGS/MiSeq1203UnCap]$ bwa bwasw ../hg19ReferenceGenome/hg19_reference_genome.fa NA07357_S1_L001_R1_001.fastq > BWARead1.sam

    I've given my VM access to 200+ GB of hard drive space on /usr. But I'm starting this process from a shared /mnt directory, where the data files are located. I don't know if I need to point bwa to do its work in a certain directory, or if that's potentially the source of my problem.

    The file I tried to align is the first read of a paired-end read. But since BWASW doesn't use paired-end reads, I'm assuming aligning those fastq files one at a time into their own respective sam files is the proper procedure.

    Reply to 16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?

    The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
