  • BWA aligned pairs read1=XT:A:U, read2=XT:A:R

    Hello,

    I've aligned Illumina paired end reads with BWA, filtered using samtools view -f 3 -F 12 ("proper pairs", both mates mapped).

    I'm looking at the XT tags and see expected classes, where both mates are XT:A:U (both "unique") and XT:A:M + XT:A:U (one mate-rescued, one "unique").

    However, I also find a class of paired reads where one read is XT:A:R (multiply-mapped) and the other is XT:A:U. This class of reads is a significant fraction of the total pairs (~10%) and the class persists after filtering on MAPQ > 20.

    I anticipated that this class of reads would instead be classifed in the XT:A:M + XT:A:U (ie XT:A:R converted to XT:A:M), but apparently not.

    Are the XT:A:R whose mate is XT:A:U mate-rescued, or something else?

    Thanks.

    I have exactly the same question and I haven't been able to find more detailed information on the XT:A:M tag from BWA.

    I created a simple example (on my blog at http://davetang.org/muse/2014/07/24/...red-end-reads/; specifically the "RESCUING AMBIGUOUSLY MAPPED READS" section) trying to obtain the XT:A:M tag by aligning a uniquely- and multi-mapping pair but I got the XT:A:U and XT:A:R tags instead.

      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...
