    CIGAR and query sequence are of different length:gmap related

    Hello, I’m hoping someone can help me out with this issue. I’ve tried looking for the answer here as well as across the web and can’t find a solution. I apologize if I’ve missed something.

    I have a trinity based de novo reference transcriptome and I’m attempting to align the transcripts to the reference genome. I’m a novice so I’m following a protocol and am hitting the error below when I attempt to convert my SAM into a BAM file. I’m looking for a fix to the underlying problem as I’ve already tried removing the offending transcript from the SAM file. When I do that, I still get the error, just on a different transcript farther down in the SAM file. Thanks for any guidance.


    gmap -n 0 -D /cribi -t 30 -d cribi 588160VVout.fasta –f samse > 588160.sam
    samtools view –Sb 588160.sam > 588160.bam
    [E::sam_parse1] CIGAR and query sequence are of different length
    [W::sam_read1] parse error at line 979
    [main_samview] truncated file.


    Here is Line 979: The basepairs here are 644. I don’t understand how the CIGAR string could be different from the sequence length if the sequence was used to align in the first place.

    I'm wondering whether you ended up finding a solution, why this error is generated? I am experiencing the same issue after a first pass at using GMAP to align a transcriptome assembly to a reference genome.

      Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
      by SEQadmin2



      CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

      Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.
