fixmate before/after GATK

04-03-2012, 02:48 PM

Hello, everyone

I was just thinking if it would be better if I do a pre-processing for the aligned reads before sending it to GATK for SNP calling. For example, do I need to remove the unmapped and not properly paired reads, and run a fix mate for the bwa aligned files, and then send the processed bam files to GATK. Or GATK will take care of these issues automatically? Thank you for your advice.

one more question is ... after realignment by GATK, shall I run a fixmate before going to GATK recalibration?

Thank you for your kind advice!

If you are using a current version of GATK fixmate is no longer needed as it is done on the fly during indel realignment. There is no reason to remove the unmapped reads as they are not used for SNP calling, properly paired maybe a different issue but not a group of reads most people eliminate.

Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems

by SEQadmin2

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
