Suppose I have a bam file that contains mapping of reads to the human reference. Then for a particular gene, I want to reconstruct its two haplotypes. Is there a tool to assemble reads mapped to the said gene region into two haplotypes? Thanks!

You can extract reads from a given region from your sam/bam file. about assembling it ... u should be assemble it into a gene but about getting two haplotypes i can't say because then you would need to assess the variants in the region and then mix and match to get the 2 haplotypes but i doubt that'll be of much use or of any significance.Originally posted by ymc View Post -
Check out the software wiki and/or try a Google search of "haplotype from short-read sequencing".Comment

Thank you for your hint. I think I am going to implement the dynamic programming algorithm described in He et al (2010) and give it a try. I want to assemble only several hundred bases long exons. I think DP should be ok for my problem.Originally posted by HESmith View PostComment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
