  • Can not find idels!!

    Hi guys
    I know that there will be a trivial answer to my question but I really can not understand where the problem is. I am aligning a 20x coverage Illumina paired end reads by using soap aligner. The command I am using is the following:

    Code:
    ./soap -D ./reference.fasta.index  -a ./s_2_1_sequence.txt -b ./s_2_2_sequence.txt -o s_2_paired_mapped -u s_2_unpaired_reads -2 s_2_unpaired_mapped -v 3 -m 100 -x 400 -r 1 -g 10
    I then concatenate the paired_mapped and unpaired_mapped (the real name should be single_mapped) and convert it with the tool soap2sam.pl available at the soapdenovo website. I then use the sam file to gather information about indel by using samtools:

    1) samtools import (to get a bam file)
    2) samtools sort (to sort it)
    3) samtools pileup -f reference.fasta -i file_name.bam

    With the last command I can not get any indel. I am not an expert but I think that no indel at all is not possible. Have you got any idea on what is going on here?

    thanks a lot for the help



    UPDATE: by looking at the soap aligner first output I realised that indels are present. This make me thing that the problem is the perl script soap2sam. I will try to call snp and indel directly with soapsnp.

    Try the "-c" option in the "samtools pileup" command to call the consensus sequence.

      Just added -c before the -i flag in the above samtools pileup command. Unfortunately nothing changed!

      cheers

        use another aligner

          I agree,

          BWA, Novoalign and BFAST all do a good job with finding indels from short read alignments and all of these programs support native SAM output.

            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...
