  • BWA: properly paired question

    I'm playing around with quality trimming reads using Trimmomatic and I'm getting some results that I can't explain when mapping these reads. I aligned trimmed reads using the default alignment parameters in bwa. I also aligned the untrimmed reads separately for comparison. The number of reads that are 'properly paired' using the non-trimmed reads is much higher than with the trimmed reads. The numbers from flagstat are below. All the numbers make sense to me (increase in mapping with trimming, fewer singletons with trimming, etc) except why trimming decreases the numbers that are properly paired.

    trimmed reads:
    109873392 in total
    0 QC failure
    0 duplicates
    64745645 mapped (58.93%)
    109873392 paired in sequencing
    54936696 read1
    54936696 read2
    958 properly paired (0.00%)
    64745645 with itself and mate mapped
    0 singletons (0.00%)
    9331 with mate mapped to a different chr
    1 with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>=5)

    untrimmed reads:
    128577404 in total
    0 QC failure
    0 duplicates
    56771463 mapped (44.15%)
    128577404 paired in sequencing
    64288702 read1
    64288702 read2
    40092110 properly paired (31.18%)
    40500339 with itself and mate mapped
    16271124 singletons (12.65%)
    3979 with mate mapped to a different chr
    3063 with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>=5)

    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...
