BBMap (aligner for DNA/RNAseq) is now open-source and available for download.

[bwubb]

BBMap is one of the aligners that uses the full header present in your fasta file when creating the index and passes it along to alignment file. If there are spaces in the header name they are written to alignment. Some downstream programs have a problem with this.

You can use the option "trd=t" to truncate the fasta header names after the first space in the name. There is an option for reformat.sh that can do this after the fact for aligned data. I can look this up later if you don't find it.

Thank you. I had found this too sometime after my post and before yours, but its really great to get a helpful reply!

Hi Brian,

Does bbmap callvariants.sh ignore duplicates marked by picard MarkDuplicates by default (or is there an option to ignore duplicates) or do duplicates have to be deleted?

Best,
Gopo

Hi Brian,
I'm using trimrname=t from reformat.sh on a sam file. It looks like it trims the ref names correctly on the alignment lines, but not in header lines (the ones that start with @).

Dear Brian,

I am using bbmap for mapping and callvariants.sh for variant calling on PE Illumina reads.
I am comparing two mice strains. I am therefore downsampling my .sam files to have the same number of mapped reads going into the alignment.

When I input the original file containing ~680k mapped PE reads I get 2283 variants. When I run the down sampled file containing ~200k mapped PE reads I get 3375 variants.

I would expect to get a lower number of variants when I put in less reads. Could you explain this to me? I am clearly missing something that might be important for my analysis

(I am using the exact same criteria for variant calling and filtering for the two samples)

I am trying to run BBmap on the cluster, but got the error below. Can anyone help me to solve the error?
Thanks,

Hello! Thanks for all of the wonderful bbmap scripts. Today I was was trying to use bbfakereads.sh but the script can not locate or open the jgi/FakeReads file. Any thoughts? I noticed a Fakereads files in the current/jgi directory. Do you think the path in the script is incorrect?

Thanks for your time and help!

bbfakereads.sh in=scaffolds.fasta out=fakePE_R1.fasta out2=fakePE.R2.fasta length=150
java -ea -Xmx600m -cp /media/bioinformaticprograms/BBMap/sh/current/ jgi.FakeReads in=scaffolds.fasta out=fakePE_R1.fasta out2=fakePE.R2.fasta length=150

[GenoMax]

Is your bbmap installed correctly? Have you moved any files around? I am able to run "bbfakereads.sh" and generate fastq and fasta files without a problem.

[StephCarr]

You're right. It wasn't downloaded correctly. At first I used git to download the bbmap package. But when I just downloaded with wget from https://sourceforge.net/projects/bbm...p_38.12.tar.gz everything was organized correctly.

Thanks for the help.

Add hg19 masked reference to distribution

Hello,
I'm using BBTools via bioconda and the corresponding quay.io docker container. The image has the necessary resources, e.g. the adapters fasta file:

However, the removehuman.sh script uses a hardcoded path for the masked human genome posted in the RemoveHuman thread.

Can the masked genome be included in the distribution?

Thank you!

Hello Brian,
After running mapPacBio.sh, how can I combine the sequence of the same ID?
for example I want to combine the sequences as following:
m151006_234406_42219_c100867912550000001823195203031665_s1_p0/110457/57769_70466 id=3_0_part_2_6

Thanks,

pull out sequences with matching primers

Hi Brian,
I was wondering if bbmap has a tool that will pull out reads matching a particular primer sequences? I have fastq files with amplicons from 12 different primers in the same file so i want to make subsets of the reads having specific primers of interest from this.

i have used your tool for other tasks so i figured I would ask if it also has this capability?

Thank you,
Jen

[HESmith]

@JenBarb see this thread in Biostars.

[JenBarb]

Thank you! Love the tool!

[Meyana]

Hi,
Hoping somebody can help me with this.

I used BBMap and now I would like to extract the reads from by .bam file that are split (/chimeric?) ie. reads that indicate a deletion.

I tried to use samblaster, but it doesn't recognize any reads as split...
(samtools view -h in.bam | samblaster -a -s split.sam -o /dev/null)
Are the split reads marked differently in BBMap compared to other aligners causing samblaster to fail?

IGV shows a good amount of reads with deletions and I can also call deletions using BBTools callvariants.sh - so I know they are in there. I just have a feeling callvariants is calling fewer deletions and with lower coverage than what IGV suggests, so I want to check up on it.
