  • Bowtie cant read my csfasta file !

    Hi everyone,

    I have a color space fasta file and i have created the index files using bowtie-build. I ran bowtie using

    /share/bin/bowtie/bowtie -a -v2 -C --sam -f 0604_refMrna_index GFP_plus_20091102_F3.csfasta

    It complains of:
    Error: reads file does not look like a FASTA file
    Command: /share/bin/bowtie/bowtie -a -v2 -C --sam -f 0604_refMrna_index GFP_plus_20091102_F3.csfasta

    Can anyone help me with this?

    Thanks,
    Abby

    Hi Abby,

    Could you please post the output of 'bowtie --version' (so we know exactly what version you're using) and give a snippet of the CSFASTA file that Bowtie's complaining about?

    Thanks,
    Ben

      Ben,

      my csfasta file had

      # Tue Nov 24 17:11:31 2009 /share/apps/corona/bin/filter_fasta.pl --output=/data/results/solid0171/solid0171_20091102/SarahS_mix

      I was playing with this file and finally figured out that removing the commented lines make it work. Thank you. I have another quick question what options will help me get the position numbers where the reads map to ? right now i am using :

      -C -f --sam --sam-nosq --al <filename> .

      Thanks,
      Abby

        Hi Abby,

        Oops, OK, I'll take a look at that. Comment lines *should* be handled gracefully, so that's a bug.

        See the Bowtie manual (and, if more details is needed, the SAM specification) for how to interpret the SAM output columns. The name and offset for the reference aligned to are in the third and fourth columns respectively.

        Thanks,
        Ben

            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...
