    question about using samtools

    Hello guys

    I have 100-bp PE reads for chip-seq, and the reads were aligned using bwa. The alignment results - the sam file - was further processed with samtools. I used the following commands to filter out properly paired reads with unique mappability, but not sure if I am doing it in a correct way. Could you give me some suggestion for that? Thank you!

    The file immediately after bwa alignment is after_align.sam. Then I used:

    1.samtools view -bShu after_align.sam >after_align.bam
    2.samtools view -q 1 after_align.bam -o uniq.bam
    3.samtools rmdup uniq.bam uniq.rmdup.bam
    4.samtools -f 0x0001 -f 0x0002 uniq.rmdup.bam -o paired.bam # this is to get properly paired reads
    5.samtools sort -n paired.bam paired_sort_name
    6.samtools fixmate paired_sort_name.bam fixmate.bam#fixmate.. do I need to do this?

    Did I miss anything ? Is there anything to add?

    Thank you!

    is this correct

    I am also curious to know if this is correct work flow of commands any senior member may like to confirm please.
    One thing I feel is one has to first filter then sort?

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

      Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
      by SEQadmin2



      Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

      There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

      Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
