  • How to quick index the sam record according to the read name?

    How to quick index the sam record according to the read name?

    assum i hava a read which named "afaNma_1", and this read has record in the sam format file;

    I want to index and get the samRecord of read "afaNma_1" in this sam file quickly, Can anyone tell me how should i do?


    Thanks

    I'm not aware of anything convenient for doing this, but someone else might be able to shed light.

    If you are comfortable with programming, I'd sort the file by name, leaving the header records on top (samtools probably has something for this). Then write a program to pluck out your target record using a binary search algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm). Java has a RandomAccessFile class for quickly accessing arbitary file bytes, though I'm sure other languages have their equivalents. The tricky part will be finding the start of a record containing an arbitary byte - you will have to work backwards to find a newline or the start-of-file.

    I know this isn't creating an index, but it should be lightning fast for practical purposes.

      you can use this
      miscellaneous scripts for bioinformatics/genomics that dont merit their own repo. - brentp/bio-playground

      if you have python and tokyo-cabinet

        I have some still experimental code for SAM/BAM with indexing by name for Biopython here: http://github.com/peterjc/biopython/...-sam-bam-index

          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...
