  • BAM file containing ALL reads, next step?

    Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and new to ChIP-seq so forgive my ignorance and the broadness of my question.

    I recently obtained two bam files from a company which states that the files they provide are, "a binary alignment/map file which includes all reads. Predefined columns within the file will flag sequence reads which passed or failed chastity filtering, and mark those reads which are unique and have either multiple, or no matches".

    My goal is to look at differences in peaks between the two files (treatment vs control) and for this I have Partek Genomics Suite. Currently, I am able to simply load the bam files into Partek, generate peaks, have them annotated and look at fold difference between treatment and control.

    My question is would it be wiser to first "clean up" the bam files since they apparently contain ALL reads, not just those that were high quality and aligned, and then import them into Partek? For example, should I remove all those reads which failed chastity filtering as well as those that have no matches, etc?

    Thanks for your time

    Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
    by seqadmin



    Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

    Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
    by seqadmin




    Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
