Does anyone know of a tool to view only regions of a BAM with specific coverage? Ideally, it would constrain the coverage using either a max or min

You could make a pileup, which would have the depth at every point. Then some kind of script to make a .bed file of all those windows you wanted, and you can apply the .bed file to the .bam with samtools view to get a .bam just at those coordinates.
You could probably use BEDTools to do much of that. I'm not sure there's an easier way. -
Elaborating on this just a little... After creating the bed you can load both the bed and the BAM into IGV. Then click on the name panel over the bed track, and use ctrl-f to skip from one region to the next.Comment

I think you could use genomeCoverageBed from bedtools for the first step. I know you could do the second part in R quite easily, but it would take me awhile to figure that one out. Once you have a bed file you could use intersectBed to get a bam just with those coords.Comment

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...Today, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
