  • BWA: paired end reads, wrong orientation but listed as properly paired

    I have a set of BAM files for a targeted sequencing experiment. After reviewing things in IGV, I noticed that a pair of reads listed as orientation F2R1 are labelled as properly paired. I also noticed another pair listed as F1R2 that were also labelled as properly paired. From my understanding of paired-end sequencing, F1R2 is the correct orientation and F2R1 would be more consistent for mate-pair. The version of BWA used was 0.6.2 and Picard 1.107 for post-processing (conversion to BAM, sorting, indexing, read group addition). I confirmed alignment to the reference genome using BLAT and identified the reads in the original FASTQ files for read 1 and read 2. Any idea why it would list both orientations as properly paired?

    I'm including the SAM entries below with modified read IDS:

    There's nothing wrong with F2R1 or F1R2. The strand of read 1 is random, and the strand of read 2 should be opposite. What's important is that the forward-mapped read is to the left of the reverse-mapped read (for insert sizes longer than read length), not which read maps forward and which maps reverse.

      Cross-posted on biostars, where I already answered (note, they should be listed as properly paired).

        Thanks for the info. No clue why I didn't see that in the first place. After confirming the left most and right most reads, the orientation of F2R1 as properly paired clicked in. Thanks again!

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
