  • bfast gapped alignment

    Naive question. I do not quite understand in what situations the postprocessing option -g would be useful (use gapped alignments when attempting to rescue pairs). Thoughts?

    If you are trying to rescue the other read considering the to-be-rescued end with indels the gapped method is useful. I find that it overfits by calling falsely indels in many cases. Remember, the rescue relies solely on its pair/mate.

    I would test both out and see which you are most happy with. Always good to have options (literally).

      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...
