  • BWA-SW contig to reference -- what was unaligned?

    I used BWA-SW to align 60 contigs to a reference genome. The resulting SAM file has 339 entries (I did `samtools view -c myfile.sam`). All of these are "mapped" (`samtools view -c -F 4 myfile.sam`).

    So BWA-SW, while aligning, broke the contigs into on average 5 or 6 pieces, is what I understand from that. I can visualize the alignments in IGV and they look good. What I'm trying to find out is: are there any sub-segments of those 60 contigs that were not successfully aligned to the reference genome I passed to BWA? In other words I have 339 sub-segments and I'm not sure if they fully constitute the 60 contigs I originally passed to BWA-SW.

    I've searched for how to figure this out as best I can, but it seems like the majority of use cases for BWA are for aligning short reads, which is not what I'm doing at the moment. So I can find info on how to count unmapped reads but it doesn't seem to apply to my situation.

    Thanks....

    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...
