    Bowtie2 exact match and same length

    Hi,

    I have 8 fastq files with small RNA sequencing data and I would like to allign the sequences to a reference (.fa), thereby removing the sequences that do not allign perfectly to the reference sequences. However, the condition is that the perfect alligned seqeunces have the same length as the reference sequences to which they were alligned to. Example (not the real data, but to show what I mean):

    Ref sequence (.fa):
    CAATCGATCGATGCTAGTC

    sample sequences (.fastq):
    GCAATCGATCGATGC
    CAATCGATCGATGCTAGTC
    AATCGATCGATGCTAGTC
    GTACCATCGACT

    Expected output from bowtie (.sam):
    CAATCGATCGATGCTAGTC

    This is the command I used:
    bowtie2 -L 6 -i S,0,0.5 --rdg 1,6 --rfg 1,6 --norc --score-min C,0,-1 -p 8 -x "INDEX" (input_file.fastq) > (output_file.sam)

    The command runs and produces output, however not exactly what I expected.

    Bowtie2 output from command:
    CAATCGATCGATGCTAGTC
    AATCGATCGATGCTAGTC

    How can I change the bowtie2 command to remove perfect alligned sequences that are not the same length as the reference sequences? Or use Samtools to remove the smaller/longer sequences?

    Thanks in advance!

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
