I am working with a genome that hasn't been sequenced but we do have some de
novo assembled contigs to use as a "reference genome" for mapping reads
against. I have ~91,000 contigs in this "reference genome". After mapping
reads to this "reference genome"  I want to then run variant calling using
mpileup.  The issue that I see is that my pileup file doesn't contain the
SNP information for all  91,000 contigs contained in my SAM file. Can anyone
tell me why this might be happening? Much of the data from the SAM file just
doesn't make it into the pileup file and I don't know if it is because I
have so many contigs in my "reference genome". Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

 

Thanks
