Thank you very much for the reply. I was referring to the 5th column. It IS the mapping quality according to SAM manual. But I guess this mapping quality must be correlated with alignment score for some way.
I have seen a lot of alignment with low mapping quality (0 or 1). For the input of cufflinks, do you usually filter out these low quality mapping reads? what is the cutoff you usually use?
Thanks

That is actually not the score, but the mapping quality (I'm assuming you're referring to column 5 for 255 "score"). For calculation of score, you will have to take the alignment in colorspace (XL:Z) and the number of colorspace mismatches (XU:Z), then use SOLiD's formula.
A score of 10 shouldn't be appearing in the output. The seed of 25bp mapping with at most 2 mismatches will give u the lowest possible score for an alignment to be reported, which in my case is 18.

Hi clariet,
Actually I've never considered this column to be a factor in filtering, so i can't give you a definite answer. But I think it'd be good to filter away those low quality mappings, perhaps someone could give a recommendation on the threshold?

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...-

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...-
