  • Important fields of SAM file to be considered while compression

    Hi all,

    A SAM file provides alignment information between a set of reads and a set of reference files. So, when we consider the reads in the SAM file, which other fields besides just the SEQ (the fragment sequence i.e the read) are important from the point of view of the biologists, doctors or researchers?

    For example. the quality values (QUAL field), the strand information (obtained from 5th LSB of FLAG field) and the POS seem to be some of the significant fields that could be useful. If you could shed light on the other significant fields (maybe they could even be from the optional fields' section), I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks,
    Nadir

    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...
