  • Understanding Maq log output

    Hi,

    I have a couple of questions about my Maq map output if anyone knows the answers I'd really appreciate them:

    Code:
    [match_search]  98% processed in 20717.101 sec: 31618863 / 21294334 = 1.485
    [match_search]  99% processed in 20765.187 sec: 28388678 / 20109661 = 1.412
    [match_search] 100% processed in 20768.725 sec: 1164880 / 1048335 = 1.111
    [match_core] sorting the hits and dumping the results...
    [ma_load_reads] loading reads...
    [ma_load_reads] 2000000*2 reads loaded.
    [mapping_count_single] 7, 11, 16, 27
    [maq_indel_pe] the indel detector only works with short-insert mate-pair reads.
    [match_data2mapping] 1922258 out of 4000000 raw reads are mapped with 0 in pairs.
    -- (total, isPE, mapped, paired) = (2000000, 0, 1922258, 0)
    First, what is the "mapping_count_single" - what do these 4 numbers mean?

    Second, this file contained 2,000,000 reads (8 million lines in fastq format), so how come the logfile says x out of 4000000 raw reads are mapped?

    Many Thanks
    Anna

    I have a similar issue. My output log reports n_reads*2 because they are paired end, but it looks like that is not the case for your data. My issue is the "x out of n raw reads are mapped" part:

    [match_data2mapping] 1976956 out of 2000000 raw reads are mapped with 1969400 in pairs.
    -- (total, isPE, mapped, paired) = (2000000, 1, 1976956, 1969400)

    What happened to the remaining 23,044 reads? It is not that they are simply unmapped, as I have a number of unmapped reads in my .sam alignment file.

    Any help much appreciated.

      Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
      by seqadmin




      The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
