  • BWA aligned pairs read1=XT:A:U, read2=XT:A:R

    Hello,

    I've aligned Illumina paired end reads with BWA, filtered using samtools view -f 3 -F 12 ("proper pairs", both mates mapped).

    I'm looking at the XT tags and see expected classes, where both mates are XT:A:U (both "unique") and XT:A:M + XT:A:U (one mate-rescued, one "unique").

    However, I also find a class of paired reads where one read is XT:A:R (multiply-mapped) and the other is XT:A:U. This class of reads is a significant fraction of the total pairs (~10%) and the class persists after filtering on MAPQ > 20.

    I anticipated that this class of reads would instead be classifed in the XT:A:M + XT:A:U (ie XT:A:R converted to XT:A:M), but apparently not.

    Are the XT:A:R whose mate is XT:A:U mate-rescued, or something else?

    Thanks.

    I have exactly the same question and I haven't been able to find more detailed information on the XT:A:M tag from BWA.

    I created a simple example (on my blog at http://davetang.org/muse/2014/07/24/...red-end-reads/; specifically the "RESCUING AMBIGUOUSLY MAPPED READS" section) trying to obtain the XT:A:M tag by aligning a uniquely- and multi-mapping pair but I got the XT:A:U and XT:A:R tags instead.

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
