  • Filter paired end reads by ID in bam file

    Hello everyone,

    I am new in bioinformatics, so I might have to say sorry if the question is a bit odd. I have looked everywhere and didn't find a solution for it.

    I am mapping my paired end reads to a viral genome(Nextgenmap). In the bam file, I extracted those that were both mapped and were paired end (I discarded those mapped with mate not unmapped, so I only have paired end data).

    With this viral_paired_end_mapped.bam, what I want to do is filter out possible human reads.

    What I did is to convert the viral_paired_end_mapped.bam into fastq file (R1 and R2) and then map it again to hg19. And in this final bam file, I filter only the unmapped paired end (Viralmapped_Humanunmapped paired end). Those are the sequences that I want (mapped to virus and not to human, paired end)

    I have to continue now to do coverage analysis,etc. So I need to merge several bam files, according to sample id. My question is then:

    Is it possible to merge the "Viralmapped_Humanunmapped paired end.bam"and then do a coverage analysis with the viral reference?
    Or should I somehow go back to my first bam file (viral_paired_end_mapped.bam) and somehow filter out the sequence IDs from "Viralmapped_Humanunmapped paired end.bam"?

    If so, does anyone know how to do it?

    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...
