    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?

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2





      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
