  • bwa mapped, interesting SAM output

    Hi,

    I masked a sequence using repeatmasker, where it replace regions with 'N' which it wanted to masked. After that I used bwa to map reads back to sequence. SAMTOOL displayed some region of sam file as following:

    SRR329951.3160235 16 * 1 37 99M * 0 0 ATGATCTACCCATTGTTACATGAGTGTGGTTTCAACACTACTCTGTATATAGAGACACATTTATGTCCACATCTTAAACGTCTAGTCCTTCTAGGTGTT CCC##########CCC3CCCCCCACC?CAB@:AB?CCCCBCCDCCCBCCDACC=CCCCCCCCCCCBCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC XT:A:U NM:i:2 X0:i:1 X1:i:0 XM:i:2 XO:i:0 XG:i

    In the second column it idicates that sequence being reverse complemented and third column indicates that it is mapping to "*" or undefined region.
    can anybody suggest what this could mean or if you have experienced the same then tell me the reason why this could have occur?

    RNAME: Reference sequence NAME of the alignment. If @SQ header lines are present, RNAME
    (if not `*') must be present in one of the SQ-SN tag. An unmapped segment without coordinate
    has a `*' at this eld. However, an unmapped segment may also have an ordinary coordinate
    such that it can be placed at a desired position after sorting. If RNAME is `*', no assumptions
    can be made about POS and CIGAR.

      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...
