    BWA Compression

    Hi everybody,
    I would like to save each aligned reads in my database using the Bam compression scheme. Does anyone can give me some reference where I can find how exactly bam compression works? Thanks in advance

      For starters you can have a look at the end of the SAM specification: samtools.sourceforge.net/SAM1.pdf

          The short answer is BAM is a binary version of SAM, and is compressed using a variation of the general purpose compression library/format GZIP.

              Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
              by SEQadmin2



              Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

              Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating              ...

              New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
              by SEQadmin2


              Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

              We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing              ...
