  • Trying to check plasmid alignment

    I have sequenced 2 samples (paired end). First sample is called Plas1 and second sample is called Micro_plas. I am interested in knowing whether Plas1 and Micro_plas are equal to another plasmid which I have the reference and view it in IGV. In order to do that I did the following:

    1) Aligned Plas1 and Micro_plas to my plasmid reference (previously indexed) sequence for each paired end. (bwa)
    2) Put together bot pair ends and create a unique sam file (bwa)
    3) Transform sam to bam (samtools)
    4) Filtered Plas1 and Micro_plas by quality (samtools)
    5) Removed duplicates for both samples (picard)

    Question 1: Sam files size for Plas1 is 20.1kb and 36.4Mb for Micro_plas. Taking this into account can I say only Micro_plas is equal to my reference and Plas1 no?

    I tried viewing this in IGV but I was not able to see anything.

    Question 2: I indexed my 5) bam files and loaded them into IGV (prior I loaded my reference plasmid as a genome). Nothing was observed in IGV. Did I did something wrong? Any clue?

    Maybe if I calculate my coverage will it be enough?

    Did you sort (and then index) your BAM files before trying to view them in IGV?

      Thanks GenoMax for your answer, yes I sorted and then indexed but I still not see anything...

        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...
