  • Aligning whole genome (FASTA) to reference genome

    Hello all,

    I previously aligned several fastq files (sample.merged.dedup.realn.bam) to a reference genome using bwa-mem.
    Now I want to align a different species sample to the same reference genome, but this file is a whole genome sequence in fasta format.

    I found this thread: http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35608

    Which made me tempted to use bowtie2 like this:

    Code:
    bowtie2 -p 4 -f -x reference -U genome.fasta -S genome.aligned.sam
    However I'm not sure I can do this or if I should try using a different tool/method.
    After aligning and converting to bam format, I want to do variant calling for the whole dataset.

    Thank you in advance,
    Maria

    I think it would be better to use minimap2 with the asm5 asm10 asm20 settings, see


    Preset:
    -x STR preset (always applied before other options; see minimap2.1 for details) []
    - map-pb/map-ont: PacBio/Nanopore vs reference mapping
    - ava-pb/ava-ont: PacBio/Nanopore read overlap
    - asm5/asm10/asm20: asm-to-ref mapping, for ~0.1/1/5% sequence divergence
    - splice: long-read spliced alignment
    - sr: genomic short-read mapping

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
