    Trying to check plasmid alignment

    I have sequenced 2 samples (paired end). First sample is called Plas1 and second sample is called Micro_plas. I am interested in knowing whether Plas1 and Micro_plas are equal to another plasmid which I have the reference and view it in IGV. In order to do that I did the following:

    1) Aligned Plas1 and Micro_plas to my plasmid reference (previously indexed) sequence for each paired end. (bwa)
    2) Put together bot pair ends and create a unique sam file (bwa)
    3) Transform sam to bam (samtools)
    4) Filtered Plas1 and Micro_plas by quality (samtools)
    5) Removed duplicates for both samples (picard)

    Question 1: Sam files size for Plas1 is 20.1kb and 36.4Mb for Micro_plas. Taking this into account can I say only Micro_plas is equal to my reference and Plas1 no?

    I tried viewing this in IGV but I was not able to see anything.

    Question 2: I indexed my 5) bam files and loaded them into IGV (prior I loaded my reference plasmid as a genome). Nothing was observed in IGV. Did I did something wrong? Any clue?

    Maybe if I calculate my coverage will it be enough?

    Did you sort (and then index) your BAM files before trying to view them in IGV?

      Thanks GenoMax for your answer, yes I sorted and then indexed but I still not see anything...

        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

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

        We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
