  • samtools view -l/-r options

    Hi everyone!
    Is it possible to retrieve mapping results of several specific reads from bam or sam files by referring to the read names?

    I tested the following options and couldn't get it working:

    -l STR only output reads in library STR [null]
    -r STR only output reads in read group STR [null]
    -R FILE list of read groups to be outputted [null]

    I have a txt file that includes names of several candidate reads, and I would like to extract the mapping info of the reads from a bam/sam file.
    Could some one please provide an example script on how to do that?

    Thank you!

    Cheers.

    Check out the fgrep command with the -f parameter.

    samtools view file.bam | fgrep -f candidates.txt

    Play around with a small examples to figure out how to use fgrep.

      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...

      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...
