    Soft clip / trim within unaligned .bam file

    Hi,

    Anyone know of a tool which does soft adapter clipping, quality trimming of unaligned reads in .bam format?

    Thanks

    Not that I know of, but as a workaround, you could convert to fastq and then use Trimmomatic or FastX.

      These won't do soft clipping, however; you'd have to parse their output and do some wild guesswork on the clippings. I would rather take the source and make a fork instead which outputs soft-clipped SAM/BAM.

      @mehc: Do you have an aligner or assembler which accepts soft-clipped bases in a BAM as input? I haven't had that yet (for Illumina data). I've seen aligners soft-clipping bases in the output alignments, however. Or are you writing something on your own and would like to use such information?

        Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
        by seqadmin




        The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
