I've found a SNP on a certain position on a reference genome (eg chromosome 1, position 13579) by using bwasw and Samtools. Next, I want to find out what is the base on each of my other Sanger sequences. My other Sanger sequences may or may not cover this SNP position.

also with samtools mpileup. -
Could you tell me more details on how to do it? Maybe give me an example command? Thanks!Comment

Your question is not making sense. Perhaps you can expand on it? As far as I can tell you have (1) found a SNP -- that makes sense -- and (2) want to find out, exactly what?, on your other sequences.Comment

I see that 'volks' responded. I think that he/she is answering the question that you probably meant to ask, which I would state as:
I have found a SNP on a chromosome. I would like to know for all of my sequences what base, if any, they have at that SNP position.
samtools mpileup is the answer for the above. See: http://samtools.sourceforge.net/mpileup.shtml
And, of course, the man page at: http://samtools.sourceforge.net/samtools.shtmlComment

I want to count the number of each wide-type and polymorphism on the same position among all the sequences which cover that position.Comment

"wide-type"? I'll presume "wild-type".
I was assuming, and perhaps 'volks' was as well, that your Sanger sequences were mapped using bwa and that the information of this mapping is inside your BAM file. If so then 'samtools mpileup your_file' will get you the information you need. You can limit the positions via the '-l' option.Comment

I tried the commands below. I'm sure the sample RN21 has SNP on chr_2:5556282. However, the output showed all the SNPs found in sample RN21. Same as without typing -l chr_2:5,556,282.
What did I miss?
samtools mpileup -uf Sorbil.fasta RN21.ab1.sorted.bam -l chr_2:5,556,282 | /mnt/E_DRIVE/samtools-0.1.17/bcftools/bcftools view -bvcg - > var.raw.bcf
bcftools view var.raw.bcf > var.flt.vcfComment

Hi Shuang,
You can use the -r option with a coordinate. You should also write the options before the bam file.
Ex: samtools mpileup -r chr1:38280656-38280656 file.bam

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...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
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...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM
