Selecting reads and reference
To start the read mapping:
Toolbox | Resequencing Analysis () | Map Reads to Reference ()
In the first dialog, select the sequences or sequence lists containing the sequencing data (figure 20.1). Please note that reads longer than 100,000 bases are not supported.
Figure 20.1: Specifying the reads as input. You can also choose to work in batch.
When the sequences are selected, click Next, and you will see the dialog shown in figure 20.2.
Figure 20.2: Specifying the reference sequences and masking.
At the top you select one or more reference sequences by clicking the Browse and select element () button. You can select either single sequences, a list of sequences or a sequence track as reference. Note the following constraints:
- single reference sequences longer than 2gb ( bases) are not supported.
- a maximum of 120 input items (sequence lists or sequence elements) can be used as input to a single read mapping run.
