A question about BWA index

[maria_mari]

Hi,
size limit in last versions of bwa (use bwa 0.6 )

Hi Louis,

The 1000 genomes version of human genome build GRCh37 should be as useful as the top level file at ensembl, maybe more so as you can the get BWA running. I'm assuming your analysis strategy is to map all reads to human genome, take all those that don't map, and map against human transcriptome, then take those that still do not map and blast against genome to look for novel hybrid junctions? The only difference is they curated this version to get rid of the redundant duplication that is not necessary and is likely to cause problems in your analysis. If you want a bit more explaination see my thread (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4589)

To he best of my understanding you can't use the top level files as the size exceeds the maximum supported by the BWT used in BWA. This is because the top level files include entire duplicate chromosomes for the different haplotypes. Most people are using the 1000 genomes version of GRCh37.

hi Jon ,my research is to find gene fusions in brain tumor's cDNA library generated from 454.
I read many papers,and they usually use 454 data align against to hg19 and refseq of cDNA ,and just extract "non-mapping reads". then,using non-mapping reads to find the read where can align across to two exon.

I don't understand .In my research,Is 1000 genomes useful ?

Thanks!

head is a Unix command to see the start of a text file (short for header I think), tail shows you the end of a text file (head and tail being the opposite ends of an animal).

Did you decompress it properly? e.g. try:

head Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.59.dna.toplevel.fa

I use command "gunzip Filename.gz" to decompress this file.

sorry I don;t understand "head" What is this command?

Thanks!

I think something is wrong with your FASTA file - the index failed, apparently your sequence is too long to index (2 to the power of 32 bases is very big, 4.2 billion!).

What URL did you download the FASTA file from?

hi,it is my download fils 's url ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/current/fa...toplevel.fa.gz

The file's sorce is from ensembl.

Would you help me find the error thanks!!!

I have use bwa index Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.59.dna.toplevel.fa (download from Ensembl) ,the file is 4.9G

and when I index it,


[bwa_index] Pack FASTA... 121.12 sec
[bwa_index] Reverse the packed sequence... 24.93 sec
[bwa_index] Construct BWT for the packed sequence...
TextLengthFromBytePacked(): text length > 2^32!

[bwt_restore_bwt] fail to open file 'genomes/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.59.dna.toplevel.fa.bwt'. Abort!

I dont't know what happened ,if someone know,please let me know


Best Regard!!!
