Samtools
Setup output directory.
mkdir bowtie_samtools
If you do not have an alignment file in the SAM format you may want to start with Introduction to mapping.
cp bowtie/REL606.5.sam bowtie_samtools/ cp bowtie/REL606.5.fasta bowtie_samtools/
Index the reference file.
samtools faidx bowtie_samtools/REL606.5.fasta
Convert from SAM to BAM format.
samtools view -bS -o bowtie_samtools/REL606.5.bam bowtie/REL606.5.sam |borderStyle=solid}
Sort the BAM file.
samtools sort bowtie_samtools/REL606.5.bam bowtie_samtools/sorted_REL606.5
Output VCF file.
samtools mpileup -uf bowtie_samtools/REL606.5.fasta bowtie_samtools/sorted_REL606.5.bam \|bcftools view -vcg - \> bowtie_samtools/output.vcf
Produces output.vcf from Bowtie and output.vcf from BWA.
Move all 3 bam files and all 3
vcf files to lonestar
introduce bedtools.
Exercise.
VCF format has Allele Frequency tags denoted by AF1. Try the following command to see what value we have in our files.
cat input.vcf | grep AF1
For the data we are dealing with, predictions with an allele frequency not equal to 1 are not really applicable. How can we remove these lines from the file and continue on?
Determining Differences Between Aligners.
Bedtools is a suite of utility programs that work on a variety of file formats, one of which is conveniently VCF format. Using intersectBed and subtractBed we can find equal and different predictions between mappers.
Load Bedtools.
module load bedtools
Finding alike mutations.
intersectBed -a bowtie.vcf -b bwa.vcf > intersect.vcf
Finding unique mutations for each mapper.
subtractBed -a bowtie.vcf -b intersect.vcf > unique_bowtie.vcf subtractBed -a bwa.vcf -b intersect.vcf > unique_bowtie.vcf
