  • consensus sequence

    have mapped illumina PE reads to the reference genome using BWA and now, would like to get a consensus sequence of the mapped reads- can samtools be used on the aligned bam file??

    See this thread: http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14565 (and the other thread mentioned in #4 there).

      samtools mpileup -uf /<reference.fasta> <aligned.bam> | bcftools view -bcg - > <intermediate.bcf>

      gave me an error: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token "<

      I was wondering BCFtools are part of samtools, right?- is this the correct comand?

        You don't literally use < > around the file names.

          has anyone tried this command to generate a consensus file

          samtools mpileup -uf reference.fasta sorted_alignment.bam | bcftools view -cg - | vcfutils.pl vcf2fq

          but where should I put the output file name???

            Code:
            $ samtools mpileup -uf reference.fasta sorted_alignment.bam | bcftools view -cg - | vcfutils.pl vcf2fq > output_file_name

              yes- thanks.
              I will ignore the abnormal shapes that appeared after the sequence

                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...
