  • Reads length and display in tview

    Hi,

    I had a couple of questions:

    (1) I used the below command to generate the pileup (I created a bowtie index for hg18 & then ran tophat on the sequence data against the UCSC gene annotation "tophat -G hg18.gff3 -i 30 -I 15000 ../bowtie-0.12.5/hg18 s_o_sequence.fastq", the resultant accepted_hits.sam output file was sorted and indexed).
    "samtools*pileup*-vcf*hg18.fa*accepted_hits_sorted.bam*>*accepted_hits_sorted.pileup"

    A couple of lines from accepted_hits_sorted.pileup [The number of reads covering chr1, co-ordinate 747408 (SNP quality score 140) is 28 as per the pileup output]:
    chr1 747408 A M 140 140 60 28 ,,c,ccc,,,,,,c,,,,,,,,,,cccc YWPNKONQQOTWSMHPSGQXXXGGHTJO
    chr1 748086 A M 22 22 60 11 ......^~,^~,^~c^~c^~, WYYXYXESTEI


    Below is a snapshot of what I see when I open tview ("samtools tview accepted_hits_sorted.bam hg18.fa") and navigate to chr1:747408 (the first dotted line appears underlined). I see just 2 reads displayed in the text alignment viewer after I navigate to chr1:747408. Shouldn’t there have been 28 reads?

    747411 747421 747431 747441 747451 747461 747471 747481 747491 747501 747511 747521

    (2) The read length for the sequence data is 33. However, some of the reads displayed in tview are much shorter. Why would that be?
    These are Illumina reads. I used tophat (command used is mentioned above) to generate the accepted_hits.sam from the fastq sequence file. Tophat internally runs the bowtie aligner.
    PS: I have other files wherein I ran BWA, but I haven’t tried viewing them yet using tview.

    Any suggestions/comments will be helpful.

    Thanks in anticipation,
    Veena

    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...
