    Help with ancient DNA consensus

    Hello,
    I hope this is the correct place to put this. I'm new here. I'm also pretty new at bioinformatics and have only self-taught my self what I know so far.

    I've been trying to obtain a consensus sequence via the command line. I'm using bwa for mapping, samtools for various viewing/filtering/sorting, then bcftools mpilupe, calls, and consensus.

    My problem is that the consensus is basically just spitting out the reference sequence (the human mtDNA rCRS in this case). I have been searching the internet for hours for help and it's either not relevant to aDNA or its beyond my bioinformatics knowledge.

    I've attached my short basic script.
    I really appreciate any help with this!!

    You might be able to find some more resources on your bcftools pipeline on www.biostars.org. Just query for bcftools variant calling or something to see if you can find more resources.

      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.

      The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      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 Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
      by SEQadmin2



      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...
