    Picard MergeSamFiles resulting in read duplication and loss of pair information

    Hi,

    I have merged some bam alignment files of different samples having read group information using picard's MergeSamFiles program.

    But when I check the merged file, I see that in the merged file reads are duplicated and the pair information is corrupted.

    To explain better:

    Before merging, the reads information in sam file looks like this.
    [Forward Read]

    And after Merging it looks like this

    So as you can see that the Forward read is repeated and identifies itself as its own pair mapped at the same position. Reverse read is also behaving in the same manner.

    Has anyone come across this issue while running MergeSamFiles, if so kindly help in resolving the issue.

    Thanks

    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, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    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
