  • How can I monitor the progress of BWA?

    When aligning a fastq file with BWA, I would like to monitor the progres, to know how long it approx. will take until the alignment of the whole file is finished.

    Is there any way to do this?

    I was thinking about using pv (process viewer) but can't figure out how. Is it possible with pv, or maybe is there another way?

    Hi,

    I'm guessing that you would like to see progress of the bwa aln command.
    I looked into this before for version 0.6.2 of bwa and found every so often the program will print this information.

    [bwa_aln_core] write to the disk... 0.03 sec
    [bwa_aln_core] 26188815 sequences have been processed.

    The ' X sequences have been processed' seems to be

    X = number of reads in the fastq file.

    So I took the the number of lines in the fastq file and divide it by 4 to get the number of reads. I could then write a script to capture the this information and the bwa progress information and calculate how far through the fastq file I was.

    Hope this helps,
    David

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin


      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 on Modified Bases...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      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...
