  • bwa

    Dear all,
    Using bwa, I would like to select only reads that I am very sure about ...
    it is to say, reads that have unique match (mismatch would be allowed as SNP are too frequent to consider the no-mismatch option, however, I am considering putting a limit but I don't really know which one, my reads are 75 bp illumina for the moment.)
    I am trying to think to some solution regarding paired-ends : should both paired-ends be unique match, only one ? to be kept as very sure mapped reads.
    I am not quite sure if I should play with bwa option to restrict the search or if I should use the sam format (I will probably need some help with the flag thing, it has been quite a while since I had a look at this) to select afterwards (if we consider that calculation time is not a problem ...) .
    I would really appreciate comments, ideas and help

    thanks a lot

    Set a cutoff on mapping quality. See also:

    Download SAM tools for free. SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map) is a flexible generic format for storing nucleotide sequence alignment. SAMtools provide efficient utilities on manipulating alignments in the SAM format.

        thanks lh3, where can I get some documentation about the mapping quality score (range, "stringentness" ...?

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
