  • bwa mem report only matches

    Trivial question? - when aligning raw reads from a large file to a small reference sequence and 99.99..% of reads are non matches, with Flag 4, is there a flag to set to report only matches. Thanks, John

      Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it does not solve the problem of producing a 40Gb .sam file when only 1Mb of it is useful. It seems to make my computer heavier.

        Have you tried piping bwa mem output into samtools? Something like:

        Code:
        bwa mem [your options] | samtools view -SF 4 - > output.sam

          Also, BBMap has an "outm" flag, which will retain only mapped reads, but keep pairs together (if either one was mapped). For example:

          bbmap.sh ref=reference.fa in1=r1.fq in2=r2.fq outm=mapped.sam

            Many thanks for both the samtools and BBMap suggestions. I had not heard of BBMap, but was extremely impressed at its speed and the way outm worked.

              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...
