Hello everyone, I am running a mapping of a mitochondria from a microalgae with 100 bp pair-end illumina reads from HiSeq 2500. I am using mira 4.0.2 on Bio-linux. After the mapping is done, I use miraconvert to convert the file.maf to file.sam, then with samtools I convert file.sam to file.bam, sort and index the file to make the mpileup and call SNP's. My problem is that the length of the alignment (28647 pb) obtained from MIRA is larger than the reference sequence (28331)that I used for mapping, so when I call SNP's it is like I am doing an alignment with two different genomes. I already check the reference file is the one I used for the mapping. Here the manifest parameters project = mito job=genome,mapping,accurate parameters = -NW:mrnl=0 -AS:nop=1 SOLEXA_SETTINGS -CO:msr=no readgroup is_reference data = salina_mito.fa strain = D-salina readgroup = Data Illuminapairedlib autopairing data = S_GCCAAT_L002_R1_002.fastq S_GCCAAT_L002_R2_002.fastq technology = solexa strain = D-salina Thank in advance for any help!
