the tophat generate the bam file instead of sam files?

11-10-2010, 07:33 PM

I have a question:

when i trying to use tophat (to alignment in order to generate the SAM file when can be loaded into the cufflinks.Why the output only gives me bam files in the default sub-directories? Is there any way to generate the SAM file? or i have used the wrong parameters? I am using tophat 1.1.0

Thanks!

bam to sam conversion is easy with samtools

Code:

samtools view -h myfile.bam > myfile.sam

In any case, the current version of cufflinks will accept BAM, but the online documentation doesn't seem to reflect that yet. But I just successfully ran a bunch with bam as input (successfully=cufflinks ran; I haven't looked at the output yet).

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...
