Hello!
I am a beginner!
I am trying MAQ..
My question is about the reference genome! I downloaded the mm9 genome from UCSC, and it comes as separated chr*.fa files (one fasta per chromosome)
However, the MAQ command to do the alignments points to a single file as the reference genome:
maq match output.map genome.bfa myreads.bfq
I converted all my chr.fasta files to bfa files using maq "fasta2bfa".
Now, I don't know if i am supposed to run the MAQ for each single chromosome individually or if I should have the complete genome in one-single-bfa-file.
Any of these is a challenge.
If we the alignment is to run chromosome by chromosome then there should be a way to merge the output files (I think...!?).
One the other hand, if the genome is supposed to be in just one-file, how do I do that?
Any thoughts?
THanks!!
