In some examples that I've read for using bwa to analyze paired end data, a fastq for each member of the pair is included (in other words, R1.fastq and R2.fastq). Will bwa handle paired end data that is in a single fastq? The reads are denoted with \1 and \2.

Code:$ grep -A2 ^@*1 filein.fq > reads_1.fq $ grep -A2 ^@*2 filein.fq > reads_2.fq

Originally posted by dawe View PostAFAIK no, it won't. You may separate reads into two different files, I guess with
Code:$ grep -A2 ^@*1 filein.fq > reads_1.fq $ grep -A2 ^@*2 filein.fq > reads_2.fq
Code:$ grep -A3 ^"@.*1"$ filein.fq > reads_1.fq $ grep -A3 ^"@.*2"$ filein.fq > reads_2.fq
In a random FASTQ file of ~20m reads I found 511 quality strings which were matched by these grep patterns. An incredibly small fraction to be sure but you need one to screw up your FASTQ file.

Nevertheless, I believe grep is much faster than any bioperl/biopython script.

Hi. Just found this post in the GATK forum: http://gatkforums.broadinstitute.org...o-fastq-format
Essentially, you can use BWA with interleaved BAM files containing info from both pairs. I know that was not exactly the question, but it is related, and hopefully will save time for some (as with my case).

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...-

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...-
