  • Soft clip / trim within unaligned .bam file

    Hi,

    Anyone know of a tool which does soft adapter clipping, quality trimming of unaligned reads in .bam format?

    Thanks

    Not that I know of, but as a workaround, you could convert to fastq and then use Trimmomatic or FastX.

      These won't do soft clipping, however; you'd have to parse their output and do some wild guesswork on the clippings. I would rather take the source and make a fork instead which outputs soft-clipped SAM/BAM.

      @mehc: Do you have an aligner or assembler which accepts soft-clipped bases in a BAM as input? I haven't had that yet (for Illumina data). I've seen aligners soft-clipping bases in the output alignments, however. Or are you writing something on your own and would like to use such information?

        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 on Modified Bases...

        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...
