  • Write the subset of reads from BAM file into new SAM/BAM file, using R tools.

    Hello every one.

    I am new in bioinformatic, and now I try solve the next problem. I have sorted BAM file with paired-end RNA-Seq data (several tens of thousands reads). My work tool is R. I need: 1) Filter this file by "isize" field: extract the reads with isize not equal to NA and with absolute value of isize lower than threshold (in this case, 642 bp); 2) Write this subset into SAM file, because this type is required for package which I will use.

    I tried use R package Rsamtools for this, function filterBam(). Remove reads with isize == NA is possible by means scanBamFlag:
    flag <- scanBamFlag(isPaired = TRUE, hasUnmappedMate = FALSE).

    But I have no idea about filtration by threshold (abs(bamFile$isize) <= 642). How I can do it in R? I do not believe that effective way for this does not exist. Unfortunately, my experience in R and programming for now is inadequate for solve this problem quickly. Can someone to help me? Thanks in advance!

    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...
