  • BWA produces odd alignment results

    I tried to get a uniquely mapped reads from BWA alignment, so I filtering out the alignments without XT:A:U in SAM line.

    However, BWA produces odd aligned reads, which is both unmapped and uniquely mapped.

    These reads below have both SAM flag which means 'reads unmapped' and mapping position.(chrom, pos)

    How can that be? Have you ever gotten such reads?

    thanks (^______^)

    bwa concatenates reference sequences together, and if a read hangs off of one reference, and onto another, bwa will both give it a mapping position, and a 4 flag.

    More commonly, sam specs call for the unmapped read of a pair to be given the mapping position of its mapped mate, and the 4 flag.

    But from your coordinates, I'm betting that the first is the answer.

      Why 'XT:A:U' is in the unmapped line?

      Thanks, swbarnes2!

      And then,
      why 'XT:A:U' is in the unmapped line?

      I know that 'XT:A:U' means uniquely mapped read.
      Is it right?
      What does it mean?

        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...
