    Bowtie2 'Could not open alignment output file' error

    Hi,
    here is my command line :
    test is a directory that contains my index (genome.1.bt2 etc), and the two fastq files.

    /usr/bin/bowtie2 -x genome -1 12344_TGACCA_L007_R1_001.fq -2 12344_TGACCA_L007_R2_001.fq -S /Documents/tests/test.sam

    And the error message I get :

    Error: Could not open alignment output file /Documents/tests/test.sam
    Error: Encountered internal Bowtie 2 exception (#1)
    Command: /usr/bin/bowtie2-align --wrapper basic-0 -x genome -S /Documents/tests/test.sam -1 12344_TGACCA_L007_R1_001.fq -2 12344_TGACCA_L007_R2_001.fq

    If you see what's wrong with my code please help me !
    Thks

    Does your account have write permissions to the /Documents/tests directory?

      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,...
