    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.

              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,...
