  • mpileup format

    I am using samtools mpileup to analyze my data, and have several lines like this:

    chr1 14976 G 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14977 C 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14978 C 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14979 T 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14980 C 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14981 A 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14982 T 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14983 G 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14984 A 5 <<><> HHHHH


    What are those ">" "<" or "*" mean in the reads base column? According to the description of the format (http://samtools.sourceforge.net/pileup.shtml), they should be only in the base qualities columns.

    samtools manual says they are " ’>’ or ’<’ for a reference skip".

        I am sorry to kick this thread alive but did someone figure out what "*" means in the reads base column? I cannot find any information on the homepage of Samtools.

          The deleted bases will be presented as ‘*’ in the following lines.

            Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
            by seqadmin


            At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

            How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
            by seqadmin



            Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...
