  • Samtools BAM to bcf question

    Dear All,
    i am using the following command to convert a BAM file to a bcf file:

    samtools mpileup -uf genome.fa raw.accepted_hits.bam|bcftools view -bvcg - > raw.bcf

    i think there is a way to insert the genome.fa.fai file (if it is available) in the above command to speed up the process of bcf file creation. does someone know how that is done?


    Thanks for your help.

    The fai file is required for mpileup to work. If it doesn't find one, it will attempt to make it on the fly. So your command line is fine.

        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,...
