  • Samtools

    I ran bwasw and i noticed several reads which are aligning at more than one location nonspecifically. Which flag has to be used in samtools to get unique alignment if I am working with while mouse genome and single read alignments. Thanks.

    Could you post the given records? I would assume you want the "primary" alignment flag.

    Also, could you please be more descriptive in your subject name. I would guess that is why you aren't getting any responses besides me!

      I'm pretty sure that bwa won't set the binary flag to indicate that. You can filter your .bam with samtools view for a minimum mapping quality, reads that map equally well to multiple places should have a mapping quality of 0.

        It does, download the latest code, and try "grep "0x100" *.c":
        bntseq.c: m_seqs = m_holes = 8; m_pac = 0x10000;
        bwt_gen.c:#define MIN_AVAILABLE_WORD 0x10000
        bwtsw2_aux.c: p->flag |= 0x10000;
        bwtsw2_aux.c: ksprintf(&str, "%s\t%d", ks->name, q->flag | (opt->multi_2nd && i? 0x100 : 0));
        The last line is key.

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
