| 13 | Sample command: |
| 14 | {{{ |
| 15 | bsub "bowtie -k 1 -n 2 -l 70 --best --sam --solexa1.3-quals /nfs/genomes/mouse_gp_jul_07_no_random/bowtie/mm9 s_7.txt ../s7_mm9.k1.n2.l36.best.sam" |
| 16 | }}} |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The parameters used on the sample command are: |
| 19 | * '''-l/--seedlen <int>''' seed length for -n (default: 28) -- Set to longest possible length of high-quality bases. Use the FastQC output to determine length of high-quality positions. |
| 20 | * '''-n/--seedmms <int>''' max mismatches in seed (can be 0-3, default: -n 2) |
| 21 | * '''-k <int>''' report up to <int> good alignments per read (default: 1) -- If you want only uniquely mapped reads, however, also use '-m 1' to ignore multi-mapped reads |
| 22 | * '''--solexa1.3-quals''' (if input quals are from GA Pipeline ver. >= 1.3) See the table at the top of FastQC output to identify the "encoding" scale [[br]] |
| 23 | * '''--best''' (in the case of multi-mapped reads, keep only the best hit(s)) |
| 24 | * '''--sam''' to get SAM output format (which is the best format for downstream analysis) |
