  • Question about sam output of Bismark

    I am wondering if anyone has ever encountered similar problem. I used the latest version of Bismark for my data(pair end 100bp). After a closer look at the output sam file, I found there are some reads which is pretty short like this:
    MWR-PRG-0014:95: D1HU8ACXX:6:1101:1417:2210_1:N:0:GCCAAT/1 115 chr5 75301330 255 100M = 75301318 -112 CAACCAAACAAAATACAACTATAAACTAAACTCTACCCATAAAACGCCTATTTACAAACTCCGTCCCCTAACCTAAAAAAACTAAAAAACCATTTCAAAC #B?@ACCBCDCB@AAADDC>>:

    which start at 75301318 and end at 75301330 at chromosome 5. (This is for Mmusculus mm9).
    But if if get the exact sequence with mm9 by library BSgenome in R:

    getSeq(Mmusculus, names= "chr5", start=75301318, end=75301330,as.character=TRUE)
    [1] "TCCCTTTCTCTAC"

    It seems it doesn't overlap with any bases in the read, then why is that map to the position.

    Anyone knows the answer? I am curious to know. Thanks!

    If I am not mistaken then the first mapping position in SAM format is the position where the read starts, and the second one is where the second read starts and not where it ends. Does that make sense?

      Ok, so in that case, the sequence between the two start position should still be mapped back to the sequence in the sam file right?

        Yes it should, but looking at the 12bp you posted they do agree. You have to keep in mind that Sam format always displays the sequence as the forward stand and your read seems to align to the reverse stand.

          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...
