Update: Solved it with bowtie2 -x hg38 -1 SRR14879760_1.fastq -2 rc_SRR14879760_2.fastq -S aligned.sam
(although it still fails when using macs3 peak calling)
Hello,
Can you try adding --fr
to your command line? According to the manual:
--fr/--rf/--ff
The upstream/downstream mate orientations for a valid paired-end
alignment against the forward reference strand. E.g., if --fr is
specified and there is a candidate paired-end alignment where mate 1
appears upstream of the reverse complement of mate 2 and the fragment
length constraints (-I and -X) are met, that alignment is valid. Also,
if mate 2 appears upstream of the reverse complement of mate 1 and all
other constraints are met, that too is valid. --rf likewise requires
that an upstream mate1 be reverse-complemented and a downstream mate2 be
forward-oriented. --ff requires both an upstream mate 1 and a downstream
mate 2 to be forward-oriented. Default: --fr (appropriate for Illumina's
Paired-end Sequencing Assay).
I will be closing this issue. Feel free to reopen if necessary.
Hi, I'm not sure it's an issue, but be glad for your support. I have 2 fastq files: one of the forward sequence and the second is reversed. I reverse complement to the second file using:
seqtk seq -r -c SRR14917105_2.fastq > rc_SRR14917105_2.fastq
and thencat
both forward and reverse-complement to the same file with a newline file between them. When running bowtie2 I'm getting the next error: The first file is on the next format:And the second:
Can you please help?
