    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

      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...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
