Perhaps a solution myself
# generate mpilup, say with two bams
samtools mpileup -B a.bam b.bam > out.mpileup
# Then use awk to filter on the depth of coverage columns (i.e. $4 and $7 for two bams)
# i.e. with a depth of 100 max in any depth column
awk '$4 <= 100 && $7 <= 100' out.mpileup > sifted.mpileup

Filter mpileup for high depth of coverage without bcftools/vcfutils
Hi
I am working with Illumina paired end read data, several populations. I am creating an mpileup from several .bam files, each from a different population. I would like to exclude candidate snp's where coverage in ANY one of the populations is ABOVE a read depth threshold.
To start, focusing on one scaffold, and just two of the populations, I would use
samtools mpileup -r scaffold_1 -D B1.20.bam D8.20.bam > s1B1D8.mpileup
Typically, I think one would now use the pipeline of mpileup and bcftools/vcfutils.pl setting -D, as in vcfutils.pl varFilter -D 2000.
However, I need to retain an mpileup file.
I can use the -D option in mpileup to retain a column with some measure of the depth. However, it is not clear to me what it is with several samples, as it does not match exactly the minimum or average for the bam files included, and seems to only return a single value even with more than one bam.
Any ideas, suggestions and insight would be most appreciated.
Andrew

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...-

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...-
