    quick basic questions about csfasta.ma.25.2 files

    I am looking at some other people's processed data at GEO but I am unclear
    about the alignment meanings.

    Some information about *csfasta.ma files is found in the following guide:
    Thermo Fisher Scientific enables our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer. Delivering technology, pharmaceutical and biotechnology services.


    However, I have some questions that were not answered in the manual with
    the exception of question #2.

    Here is a sample alignment from a single-read, SOLiD csfasta.ma.25.2 file.
    T30211102000121023203110321200211210
    2_16_1134_F3,chr12.-97446261.1,chr12.75715114.1,chr14.92697281.1


    1.
    Does the negative sign in front of the chromosomal coordinate indicate a reverse read (- strand)?
    2.
    Does the .1 in these 3 alignments indicate the number of mismatches as in 1 mismatch each?
    3.
    For the forward reads, does the coordinate represent the 5' end (the left-most coordinate)?
    4.
    For the reverse reads, does the coordinate represent the 3' end (the left-most coordinate)?
    5.
    If the answer to #4 is yes, to obtain the 5' end of the reverse read,
    should I add 25 to the coordinate?
    For example, to obtain the 5' end of the read in the "chr12.-97446261.1" alignment,
    would this be the appropriate operation: 97446261 + 25 = 97446286?
    Or should I add 24?

    Thanks,
    Clayton

    Reply to 16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?

    The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    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,...
