It doesn't seem to work for a large reference genome (as I have) :
MUMmer3.23/mummer: suffix tree construction failed: textlen=2909701677 larger than maximal textlen=536870908
I have BAC contig, assembled from sanger sequences, that I want to use for quality control on my short read based SNP and indel call's.
Which tool can I use to align the BAC sequence against the reference, and which tool do I then use to call SNP and Indel?
Or is it smarter just to use the Sanger sequences directly? To align them with BWA-mem and have GATK (UG or HC) call SNP and Indel?
Hi You can use DNAdiff of MuMmer tool. It will detect for you SNPs, Deletions, insertions and other type of structural variation as inversions, trans-locations...etc. DNAdiff compare tow DNA sequences (Your BAC sequence with a reference) but unfortunatly it can not consider the quality of your DNA sequence as other tools do for NGS data. Please have a look to this manual http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/bioinformatics/documentation/mummer/dnadiff.README. You have to donlowd and install MuMmer and after run DNAdiff with your BAC sequences and the reference it works very well !. Hope that will help

I aligned the BAC contig with bwa mem and used GATK UG to call SNP and Indels . The mapped reads must have a mapping quality above some treshold, mapping quality of 6 was to low. After I increased the minimum seed lenght to 400 for bwa mem my mapping quality was at 60 and GATK UG would call SNPs. To have the GATK UG call Indels on just the aligned BAC contig you need to add some extra parameters:
glm BOTH -minIndelCnt 1 -indelGOP 80 -stand_call_conf 0 -stand_emit_conf 0
