    MSA on bowtie2

    Hi guys,
    I have two genome reads (one of them is in FASTQ format and the other one is in FASTA format) and I want to align them and call variants. I also have an already assembled reference genome.
    Is it possible to run bowtie2 with two sets of read files and align them to one reference? (I tried and haven't succeed)
    or- is it possible to index a read file and than align another read file to it?
    I know that I might assemble one of those read files, but I wonder if I can avoid that.

    many thanks!
    Lilian.

    Just run bowtie2 twice, once for each set of reads. You can call SNPs on multiple samples, though I'm not sure how well that works with fasta reads (I've never tried).

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
