Alignment For Paired End Fast Q Files To Use It For Samtools Mpileup
Hello,
My aim is looking for SNP and allele count differences between samples. I will use samtools mpileup to get a VCF file.
First, I used BOWTIE for alignment.
For single end fastq files
bowtie -S -q -p 8 -a --best -V2 -m 1 --strata Referans file.txt
How can I do it for paired end reads ? file1.txt and file2.txt
For Snp calling, I allowed 2 mismatches. Do you suggest any different command for alignment?
Thanks for any help.

First of all, I think bowtie2 is better for the alignment of pair end reads.
The parameters can be set as:
bowtie2-align -x bt2-idx -1 file_1.txt -2 file_2.txt -S result.sam
