Hi, I'd like to try using BWA to align Illumina reads to some contigs a collaborator made from my Illumina reads (I want to map what reads are in each sample in the assembly of contigs, which I have in FASTA form, or in genes extracted from these contigs with prodigal, also in FASTA form).

What format do I need my contigs/extracted genes to be in in order to use them as a "reference genome", and how can I tell which genes are differentially present in my samples? I assume there is a tool for this?

Thanks

Liz

Hello,

Fasta is the correct format for a Custom Reference genome. More details are here:

Differential expression analysis can be performed on the public Main Galaxy instance at http://usegalaxy.org with the Tuxedo suite, under the tool group "NGS: RNA-seq". Tutorials and other help are here:

Hopefully this helps, Jen, Galaxy team
