  • indexed bam file

    What is exactly an indexed bam file?
    I already have a bam file AND a bai file. Is this already an indexed bam file? I could successfully load it into IGV but did not manage to do with Tablet

    The .bai file is the index to your bam file.

      Yes I know but I can only load the bam file into tablet and not the index file

        As far as I know the index file is used to programmatically read the locations in your bam more efficiently, its not a separate entity.

          Generally you just need to keep the .bai file in the same directory as the bam file and any program that needs it will read it automatically.

            Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
            by seqadmin


            At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

            How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
            by seqadmin



            Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...

            Methods for Investigating the Transcriptome
            by seqadmin




            Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
