Hello all. I am learning bowtie2 for a school project and I am completely new to the bioinformatics world.
What we are trying to do is allow for 3 mismatches in bowtie2 given 5 .fastq files as the input to the eventual sam file. I know I am supposed to put -v 3 somewhere in the command line code but not exactly sure. This is what I did to run it the first time with standard mismatches:
~/bowtie2-2.2.1/bowtie2 -x projectreference3 SRR072814.fastq,SRR072815.fastq,SRR072816.fastq,SRR072817.fastq,SRR072818.fastq -S <sam file name here>
If someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Yes, I figured that out and think I have a solution. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
