    PICARD reports only unmapped reads

    Dear all,

    I am new to the new gen seq and have a bit of a problem using PICARD.

    Basically, I have Illumina paired-end sequencing that was aligned with BWA and converted to sorted and indexed bam file with samtools. I am trying to collect some summary statistics on the number of mapped and unmapped reads, by using the CollectAlignmentSummaryMetrics in PICARD. PICARD reports the correct number of reads, but 0 for any of the metrics for aligned reads, i.e. all reads are unmapped.

    By looking at the sam file, I could see that a lot of the reads are mapped, e.g. bitwise flags of 147 and 99 for the pairs or 0x1+0x2+0x10+0x80 and 0x1+0x2+0x20+0x40, therefore no problems as far as I can see.
    Just cannot understand why PICARD reports that all reads are unmapped. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Managed to fix the issue to some extent.

    The same files + PICARD run OK on my Linux box (i.e. correct N of mapped reads), but my Solaris + PICARD reports 0 mapped reads. It seems some sort of java problem + the solaris machine.

      The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

      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,...
