Sorry for the late reply. Please read the paper about how best to use ALE and interpret the scores. ALE can evaluate different assemblies of the same data by mapping a set of reads to two different fasta files. ALE can also evaluate different mappers by mapping a single set of reads to a single fasta file with two different mappers. Reads can be short (illumina) or long reads (pacbio/nanopore), and ALE should have multiple bam files if each set of reads is from a different source, as certain statistics such as insert size are evaluated fore each bam file separately.
Hi,
Thank you for the ALE. Before testing it on my data, I would like to ask you a few questions about the ALE. According to the manual, it is required to generate sam or bam files from mapping programs (BWA, Bowtie2 etc.,). Let’s say I have two different fasta files generated from pure PacBio and Hybrid (PacBio + Illumina).
./ALE [-options] readSorted.PacBio.bam readSorted.Illumina.bam PacBio_assembly.fasta ALEoutput.ale
Or do I have to pick only one readSorted.bam file for this?
Looking forward to your advice on this matter!
Cheers,
Taek
