Reference file in MapDamge2
I am new to bioinformatics, so please forgive me for this simple question!
I am trying to use MapDamage2, and am not sure how to format the reference file. It is currently in .fasta, and was ok the bowtie/samtools pipeline I used, but I don't know how to change it so it works with MapDamage.... any suggestions would be much appreciated.
$ mapDamage -i /Users/name/IonXpress_..._55.sff.raw.bam -r ref.fasta
Error: 'ref.fasta' is not a valid file
Option parsing failed, terminating the program

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
