    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...

        Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
        by SEQadmin2



        CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

        Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

        Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
        by SEQadmin2


        Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

        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.
