  • SAM Flags Explained Improved

    Hi all,

    Someone may have already done this, but I threw together what I think is an improved version of the Broad Explain SAM Flags tool. I find that tool very helpful, but somewhat lacking in UI and visual design.

    In case you don't know what I'm talking about: https://broadinstitute.github.io/pic...ain-flags.html

    My take: http://djf604.github.io/SAM-flags-explained-improved/

    The functionality is the exact same, my take just has some UI improvments.

    Feedback?

    Looks nice!

    One critique of both your version and the one from the Broad is that some of the wording isn't really correct. For example, "read reverse strand" isn't the meaning of bit 16. This is best demonstrated in something like bisulfite sequencing, where the reverse complement of a read may be what aligns (thus, bit 16 is set), but the read actually aligns to the forward strand (due to the reverse strand having a different sequence). The only change, then, that I would make is to maybe make a window appear with a longer description if someone hovers over something like "read reverse strand". That would allow you to keep the typically correct but not always plain English labels while allowing users a more complete understanding if they need it.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
