Hello. We have a set of scaffolds that were generated from PacBio reads for a small genome, and we are trying to map these reads using the scaffolds as a reference, so we can view the resulting .ace file as a pileup in EagleView and look at frameshifts and SNPs and perhaps determine if they are real or not (without PCR/sequencing).
EagleView? ACE file? Maybe you want to use different tools ... just saying :-)
When we do this, some of the reads map to the reference (perhaps 10-15% of them) but when we open the file in EagleView, we find the reference sequence has changed -- is MIRA making a new consensus and showing that alignment?
Ummm, no, MIRA does not touch the reference sequence. Never. Maybe EagleView is recomputing a consensus on the fly?
Is there a way of having the reads aligned to the original scaffolds?
They're always aligned to the original data :-) Have you tried different viewers? gap4? gap5? Tablet? B.
