  • 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

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      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...
