Which software is proper for pacbio reads alignment to reference genome? I see bwa mem is ok, and there is blasr, but slow. How about MHAP? But from the manual it says the output is blasr m4 format, not sam/bam. Why that? The MHAP paper show better alignment performance to blasr, but it cannot generate sam?

Blasr is the recommended option, but as you noted, can be slow. Take a look at some of these tips to speed it up a little bit for nearly identical sequences:Originally posted by Rui Guo View Post
mhap is another option, but as you noted, output is not in SAM format.
The third option would be 'daligner' which is pretty fast, but also uses it's own output format (*.las) which is not what you asked for, but one of our preferred methods for aligning long reads back to a reference. See Gene Meyer's Dazzlerblog for details:

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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
