Hi All,

I have some whole genome sequencing data that were generated from illumina hiseq platform.

as a first step, I will align the fastq file to a reference genome. Can I use Rsubread for that?  I have used it for RNAseq mapping before and it was very good, I got 90% of the read were mapped to the ref genome. Does BWA have any advantage as compared to Rsubread.

Thanks

Tarek

Yes you can use the Rsubread align() function to align DNA-seq reads. You will need to set 'type="dna"' for this mapping.

For the comparison between Rsubread and BWA, you may take a look at this paper:

Hi Wei,

Thanks for your reply.

I am processing whole genome sequencing data, following to alignment, I want to call SNPs within different samples (100 samples). SNP data will be used to perform a downstream GWAS.

DO you think I can use exactSNP() to call SNPs or shall I stick to GATK.

 

Thanks

Tarek

I cant see why you can not use exactSNP.

Hi Wei,

I tried this with the unzipped file and it returns

 *** caught segfault ***
address 0x7fff9a688000, cause 'memory not mapped'

Thanks

Apparently exactSNP complains about the format of your input data. You need to specify 'isBAM = TRUE' if your input data are in BAM format.

Also please refer to the posting guide (http://www.bioconductor.org/help/support/posting-guide/) when you post questions. You should provide output of sessionInfo() and other info.

Hi Wei,

I have already specified isBAM =FALSE. I have added here the sessionInfo() 

>exactSNP(SNPAnnotationFile="All_20151104.vcf",readFile="CH1_0uM_subjunc.sam",isBAM=FALSE,refGenomeFile="BSgenome.Hsapiens.NCBI.GRCh38.fasta",outputFile="subread_jg4.sam.vcf",nthreads=40)

Sorry you should specify 'isBAM=TRUE' if you provide a BAM input.

Your R version is 1 year old. You will need to update both your R and Rsubread to the latest.

Hi wie,

One more questions.

I tried subread to align whole genome sequence from one sample (paired end, 150 bp reads) and I used 'thread=64' and 216 core (9 nodes, 24 core each). but after two days it processed only 15% and I had to kill the job.

I am using the university quest, so basically I can get as many nodes/cores as I want. Is there any way by which I can accelerate the alignment.

>align(index="my_index",readfile1=c("141023_H0E72_113-JG4_L003_R1.fastq.gz"),readfile2=c("141023_H0E72_113-JG4_L003_R2.fastq.gz"), output_file=c("subread_jg4.sam"),nthreads=64,unique=TRUE,type=1)

 

Thanks

Tarek

Hi Tarek, are you using the latest version of Rsubread? The session info you provided above showed that your Rsubread and R are at least 1 year old.

Also as I mentioned above, please include all your commands and the full screen output when you post. This will help you to get help from others.
