    Converting .sam to .vcf

    I have some files in the .sam format which I obtained after I ran Stampy on some Cancer reads. I now have to convert the .sam files to .vcf files to do some analysis and am clueless on how to do the conversion. Any help or hints would be much appreciated.

    Use samtools with mpileup and use bcftools command:
    samtools and bcftools are part of the samtools collection.
    PLEASE DO examine the options to each command and understand them.

    samtools mpileup -R -d 1000 -l rangehg18.chr -uf hg18.fa test.bam | bcftools view -g - > test.vcf

    additional note: you will want to convert your sam into a sorted bam ("test.bam" in the example above)

      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,...
