Hi all,

I aligned my single-end illumina reads with bwa aln to the human mitochondrial reference.

Then took only aligned reads and called consensus with:

samtools mpileup -uf mt_dna.fa mt_sorted.bam | bcftools view -cg - | perl vcfutils.pl vcf2fq -d 2 > cns.fq

The realigned my mapped reads to the called consensus, however now only 23% of them mapped.

 

Why is that?

Hi

This is not really a Galaxy related question, is-it? and you probably better ask this question at  http://seqanswers.com/ or https://www.biostars.org/

I am not really familiar with 'samtools mpileup' and 'bcftools', but I am guessing you are running into similar issues as with de-novo assembly, when you use too many reads as input.
