    Pull read sequences out of a genomic region of interest?

    Hello, I am relatively new to this and would like to pull out reads aligned to the mm10 genome to a particular region of interest. I first ran my fastq files in tophat to get bam files. I then ran BamToSam to get the sam files with the read sequences and alignments. I thought it would be as simple as doing a grep on the chromosome I want and looking within those results to pull out the genomic region I want however my Sam file has 21 fields per row where column 3 and column 7 both have chromosomes and I believe that columns 4 and 8 are start locations. I am not clear as to which of these would be the aligned region of the genome? Any thoughts, or advice? Here is a line from my Sam file. Also, I took the sequence and blatted it on mm10 and the 100% returned hits did not match either chromosome? Maybe I am missing something. Any thoughts would be really helpful? thanks.

    You can use "samtools view" to pull out the region of interest (in sam/bam format) and "picard SamToFastq.jar" to pull out the reads from the sam/bam (in fastq format).

      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, detection...

      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
