    samtools: using -l in mpileup not working as expected

    I'm kind of new to this whole NGS and bioinformatics but I've found alot of answers from SEQanswers. Now I have question to which I didn't find an answer amongst the old posts and I'm stuck.

    I'm trying to use mpileup to create a pileup file that has a set of SNP positions that I have selected before.

    This is the comman that I'm usign:
    samtools mpileup -f Gac_56_dna.fa -A -B 1rad_sort.bam -l 89cov50.bed > 1pileup

    And I also tried:
    samtools mpileup -f Gac_56_dna.fa -A -B -l 89cov50.bed 1rad_sort.bam > 1pileup

    89cov50.bed is a bed format file with the SNP positions I would like to pull out from my bam file. Now it seems that my output pileup is not selected at all, but rather it seems that all of the unwanted SNP positions blead through to my output pileup. I also get the wanted SNP position in the output, but I wouldn't want to have those unwanted SNP positions in there.

    Anyone have any idea what could be wrong here? Is it the order of my parameters in the command or is there something more to be added to -l than is said in the samtools manual? Any suggestions are wellcome at this point

    Thanks!

    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.

    The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
