  • Amino Acid Sequence from Exome Data?

    Hi Everyone,

    I working on a project that requires an amino acid sequence of exome sequence data. My first approach was to use samtool's mpileup command to get a consensus sequence from the exome sequencing data (bam file) followed by bcftools. Here are the commands that I used:

    Code:
    samtools mpileup -g -f [reference.fa] -r 11:5225466-5227071 [sorted .bam file] > [intermediate.bcf]
    
    bcftools view [intermediate.bcf] > output.txt
    However, I checked the sequence that I got from this consensus and it doesn't match any of the sequence from the input region that I used in mpileup. Moreover, I found that the sequence has an immediate stop codon after four amino acids, which is not correct. This is the HBB gene if that helps.

    Also, I used the HG00096.mapped.illumina.mosaik.GBR.exome.20110411.bam for my exome sequence and the 1000 genomes project reference file for the fasta reference input.

    Any suggestions on how I can extract the amino acid sequence of a gene from the exome sequence data?

    Thanks in advance!

    Part that "it doesn't match any of the sequence from the input region that I used in mpileup' is worrisome. Are you sure about that?

    If this was a stranded data you may want to check all three forward frames (or all 6 if not stranded).

      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...
