Bowtie output file help

09-23-2015, 12:00 PM

I'm using bowtie to do alignments, the index is made from 96 bacterial genomes, some genomes are incomplete and composed of many contigs. The fasta index files for the contigs are broken up by lines that label each contig, like contig0001, etc. followed by ATCG..., I have the individual index files labeled by SVID# and want the file name (SVID#) reported not the contig0001 part. Is there a way to get the file name to output rather than the contigs from that file?

Could it be that, in the text file, breaking up lines of ATCG... with contig001, contig002, etc... that bowtie reads these as separate files instead of one whole file? any input would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by GATTACAT

Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by SEQadmin2

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
