  • samtools -view region (overlap?) question

    hello,

    does somebody know how overlap is definded for the
    samtools view region
    function.

    given the defined region # and four reads a-d:
    Code:
                        ##############################
                    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
                        bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
                                   ccccccccccccccccccc
                                            ddddddddddddddd
    which one is extracted: b and c or a-d?


    thank you,

    dietmar

    No idea, but it should not be difficult to test by browsing a real bal file with the "samtools tview" option and selecting the first region with a couple of overlapping reads. I bet on a-d

      I think it should give you all of them - any reads within or overlapping the region requested.

        further question

        I think it should give you all of them - any reads within or overlapping the region requested.
        this seems true, all overlapping were extracted.

        does somebody know a script to fetch only those which start AND end inside a given range (###).

        Code:
                            #################################
                        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
                            bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
                                       ccccccccccccccccccc
                                                ddddddddddddddd
        eeee----splice------eeeeeeeeeee
        here only: b and c

          You might consider using BEDTools instead of samtools view. BEDTools can be given a .bed file of intervals, and a .bam file, and you could limit the reads to only those which completely overlap the intervals.

            thank you, works great, but too slow with big bam files:

            therefore preselection with samtools...

            Code:
            samtools view -b xxx.bam chr1:1000-2000 | bedtools intersect -f 1.0 -b region.bed -abam - | samtools view - > yyy.sam

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
