  • When viewing a BAM, can you specify regions of a certain coverage?

    Does anyone know of a tool to view only regions of a BAM with specific coverage? Ideally, it would constrain the coverage using either a max or min

    You could make a pileup, which would have the depth at every point. Then some kind of script to make a .bed file of all those windows you wanted, and you can apply the .bed file to the .bam with samtools view to get a .bam just at those coordinates.

    You could probably use BEDTools to do much of that. I'm not sure there's an easier way.

      Elaborating on this just a little... After creating the bed you can load both the bed and the BAM into IGV. Then click on the name panel over the bed track, and use ctrl-f to skip from one region to the next.

        I think you could use genomeCoverageBed from bedtools for the first step. I know you could do the second part in R quite easily, but it would take me awhile to figure that one out. Once you have a bed file you could use intersectBed to get a bam just with those coords.

          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...
