MosaikText can convert a mosaik output into either SAM or BAM files; however, it always produces a zipped output. Is there a way to make it produce one of these formats without gzipping it?

correction: the BAM file produced my mosaik can be used as is. -
Gambit crashes with .bam file from Mosaik
The visualization software Gambit crashes when I attempt to open my .bam file created using Mosaik (MosaikText). Does anyone else have this problem? I am able to open the .ace file using consed, but I'd like to try Gambit.Comment

I recently used MOSAIK to align my short Illumina reads and had the -m unique parameter initialized, but when I convert the map file to .sam format, I see reads that aligned to multiple places. Does anyone understand this?Comment

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM -
Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM
