  • Pull read sequences out of a genomic region of interest?

    Hello, I am relatively new to this and would like to pull out reads aligned to the mm10 genome to a particular region of interest. I first ran my fastq files in tophat to get bam files. I then ran BamToSam to get the sam files with the read sequences and alignments. I thought it would be as simple as doing a grep on the chromosome I want and looking within those results to pull out the genomic region I want however my Sam file has 21 fields per row where column 3 and column 7 both have chromosomes and I believe that columns 4 and 8 are start locations. I am not clear as to which of these would be the aligned region of the genome? Any thoughts, or advice? Here is a line from my Sam file. Also, I took the sequence and blatted it on mm10 and the 100% returned hits did not match either chromosome? Maybe I am missing something. Any thoughts would be really helpful? thanks.

    You can use "samtools view" to pull out the region of interest (in sam/bam format) and "picard SamToFastq.jar" to pull out the reads from the sam/bam (in fastq format).

      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...
