  • BWA-mem and BWA-aln reads with multiple mapping

    I have read that for bwa-aln

    samse bwa samse [-n maxOcc] <in.db.fasta> <in.sai> <in.fq> > <out.sam>
    Generate alignments in the SAM format given single-end reads. Repetitive hits will be randomly chosen.

    and for bwa-mem
    This post (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51081) refers to a post that states that "BWA makes random choice".

    Is it possible to set a seed or in some other way ensure that bwa-aln and bwa-mem are deterministic? i.e same reads => same mapping.

    I am seeing a case where 2 runs of the same analyses gives different results due to random mapping of some shorter reads (post trimming).

    Thanks

    Improved Targeted Sequencing: A Comprehensive Guide to Amplicon Sequencing
    by seqadmin



    Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...

    Targeted Sequencing: Choosing Between Hybridization Capture and Amplicon Sequencing
    by seqadmin




    Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...
