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)Last edited by Richard Finney; 06-19-2012, 07:34 AM.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM
