  • BAM file containing ALL reads, next step?

    Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and new to ChIP-seq so forgive my ignorance and the broadness of my question.

    I recently obtained two bam files from a company which states that the files they provide are, "a binary alignment/map file which includes all reads. Predefined columns within the file will flag sequence reads which passed or failed chastity filtering, and mark those reads which are unique and have either multiple, or no matches".

    My goal is to look at differences in peaks between the two files (treatment vs control) and for this I have Partek Genomics Suite. Currently, I am able to simply load the bam files into Partek, generate peaks, have them annotated and look at fold difference between treatment and control.

    My question is would it be wiser to first "clean up" the bam files since they apparently contain ALL reads, not just those that were high quality and aligned, and then import them into Partek? For example, should I remove all those reads which failed chastity filtering as well as those that have no matches, etc?

    Thanks for your time

    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...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
