  • contradictory or not?

    Hi

    I have spotted the following after a maq map command on paired end:
    Base qualities of a read to be QSolexa -2.3 (i.e. very poor) , but assigned a flag of 18 (correct pair) and a mapping quality of 95 (suggesting the alignment to the genome reliable).

    Is this logical and correct?

    Any input would be appreciated

    Cheers

    This indicates that the alignment works independently of the quality value and when alignment is fine the score is higher irrespective of the quality. You can take care of it if you filter out low quality reads if necessary and unwanted.

      Thought so

      Hmm, makes sense. Thanx

        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...
