repeat regions

[cfz1998]

There are two repeat regions in my contig. And nextPolish does not polish this region. The IGV picture using nano_reads mapping to the polished genome.

It's also not polished for pilon. Why cause this? Because of the not unique-alignment in bwa-alignment for Illumina-reads？

Running code:

#Set input and parameters
round=2
threads=20
read1=../00.raw_data/SRR12578435_R1.fastq
read2=../00.raw_data/SRR12578435_R2.fastq
input=../01.nextDenovo/01_rundir/03.ctg_graph/nd.asm.fasta
for ((i=1; i<=${round};i++)); do
#step 1:
   #index the genome file and do alignment
   bwa index ${input};

#Finally polished genome file: genome.nextpolish.fa

Thank you for your reply!

Check the maping quality and wether these alignments are primary alignments?

Repeat region1 Repeat region2 Hi! @moold. Sorry for my late reply. There are many breakpoints (for Illumina reads) in this region. I don‘t know how to check the primary alignments.

Nextpolish use the 0xC04 flag to filter alignments, so you I think these alignments should have these flags。
