Prepare for Day 2

To prepare for Day 2, try to start either BWA or Bowtie2 mapping of these two fastq files:

Code Block
titleThe data
$BI/ngs_course/human_variation/allseqs_R1.fastq
$BI/ngs_course/human_variation/allseqs_R2.fastq

against this reference:

Code Block
titleThe reference
$BI/ngs_course/human_variation/ref/hs37d5.fa

followed by converting the output to bam format, sorting the bam file, and indexing the output.

For either BWA or Bowtie, you need an indexed reference generated by either bwa index or bowtie-build. Perhaps one already exists? You then call the alignment program(s) bwa aln/bwa sampe or bowtie. Conversion, sorting, and indexing of the output are all done via samtools.

titleSubmit to the TACC queue

Move into your scratch directory and create a new directory:

Code Block
cds
mkdir day2
cd day2

Then create a commands file with the commands below and use launcher_creator.py followed by qsub to run them.

  1. Mapping
    1. For BWA, the commands are:
      Code Block
      titleONE LINE command for ALL bwa operations
      module load bwa; bwa aln $BI/ngs_course/human_variation/ref/hs37d5.fa $BI/ngs_course/human_variation/allseqs_R1.fastq > r1.sai && bwa aln $BI/ngs_course/human_variation/ref/hs37d5.fa $BI/ngs_course/human_variation/allseqs_R2.fastq > r2.sai && bwa sampe $BI/ngs_course/human_variation/ref/hs37d5.fa r1.sai r2.sai $BI/ngs_course/human_variation/allseqs_R1.fastq $BI/ngs_course/human_variation/allseqs_R1.fastq > test.sam
      
    2. For bowtie2:
      Code Block
      titleOne-line command for bowtie
      module load bowtie/2.0.0b6; bowtie2 -t -x $BI/ngs_course/human_variation/ref/hs37d5_bowtie2 -1 $BI/ngs_course/human_variation/allseqs_R1.fastq -2 $BI/ngs_course/human_variation/allseqs_R2.fastq -S test.sam
      
  2. Convert, sort, and index output:
    Code Block
    titleOne-line command for samtools
    samtools view -S -b test.sam > test.bam && samtools sort test.bam test.sorted && samtools index test.sorted.bam
    

For a bit of extra challenge, you could make two separate commands files, one for each mapper, qsub them. Watch out - you'll need to make sure they both write output to different files, or run in different directories!
