Chimeric reads hard clipping
Hello, everyone. I got a question without answer after a long exhaustive liaterature search. I am using multiple displacement amplification (MDA) to amplify my samples, followed by 454 sequencing. MDA is well known for the generation of chimera, and therefore chimeric reads. In my dataset, nearly 30% reads are chimeric, estimated by Bowtie 2 aligner. I wonder whether there are some tools can retrieve the mapped domains of chimeric reads only from SAM output. If yes, I think this may break chimeric reads into single mappable reads.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
