    BBMAP paired-end alignment problem

    Hi All

    I'm having a problem with aligning Illumina PE reads with BBMap version 35.92.

    Execution of

    Code:
    bbmap.sh overwrite=t ref=Z.fasta in=R1_001_val_1.100.fq in2=R2_001_val_2.100.fq minid=0.25 mappedonly=true out=out.sam  outu=unaligned_reads.fa maxindel=100000
    yields out.sam which contains only alignments of read1 even though the log info seems to suggest read2 reads were also aligned

    Code:
    Pairing data:           pct reads       num reads       pct bases          num bases
    
    mated pairs:            100.0000%             100       107.4763%              59558
    bad pairs:                0.0000%               0         0.0000%                  0

    As a test I then tried

    Code:
    bbmap.sh overwrite=t ref=Z.fasta in=R2_001_val_2.100.fq minid=0.25 mappedonly=true out=out.sam  outu=unaligned_reads.fa maxindel=100000
    Here read2 reads were aligned.

    Any ideas what is wrong with the first command line for the paired-end reads?

    Thanks

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

      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.
