Part 1. Create a index of your reference

NO NEED TO RUN THIS NOW- YOUR INDEX HAS ALREADY BEEN BUILT!

Code Block
bwa index -a bwtsw reference/genome.fa

...

Part 2a. Align the samples to reference using bwa aln/samse/sampe

You will need to run We will be using this set of commands (with options that you should try to figure out) in this order, on each sample:

...

    
    bwa aln
    bwa samse or sampe

...

WhatLet's going on at each step?submit the bwa aln job

Put this in your commands file:

bwa aln -f GSM794483_C1_R1_1.sai reference/genome.fa data/GSM794483_C1_R1_1.fq

 What is a *.sai file? It's a file containing "alignment seeds" in a file format specific to BWA. Many programs produce this kind of "intermediate" file in their own format and then at the end have tools for converting things to a "community" format shared by many downstream programs.

...

Do we use sampe or samse?

Lets submit the bwa sampe job, but have it be on hold till previous job is finished.

Since this will take a while to run, you can look at already generated results at: /corral-repl/utexas/BioITeam/rnaseq_course/bwa_exercise/results/bwa

Part 2b. Align the samples to reference using bwa mem

Alternatively, lets also try running alignment using the newest and greatest, BWA MEM. Alignment is just one single step with bwa mem.

Help! I have a lots of reads and a large number of reads. Make BWA go faster!

  • Use threading option in the bwa command ( bwa -t <number of threads>)

  • Split one data file into smaller chunks and run multiple instances of bwa. Finally concatenate the output.
    • WAIT! We have a pipeline for that!
    • Look for runBWA.sh in $BI/bin  (it should be in your path)

Now that we are done mapping, lets look at how to assess mapping results.
