    Extract mean mapped base phred quality by mapped location from BAM file

    I would like to display a histogram of mean mapped base phred quality (call quality, not mapping quality), with chromosomal location on the "x-axis"
    I have recalibrated & realigned BAM files from Illumina sequencing for a small target.
    Is it possible to extract this data presented by chromosome location?

    Obviously, IGV will display individual reads, with individual base quality. Can the mean quality be automatically extracted?

    Essentially, I would like to compare this with depth of coverage by chromosomal location, which coverageBed extracts from the BAM file directly.

    Thanks.

    You could write a script that grabs the quality values from a BAM file and averages them over a sliding window.

      Thanks adaptivegenome.
      That is beyond my programming skills. I was hoping that someone may have done something similar already...
      I may make do with the BamUtil: stats Q20% as an alternative way of representing this data.
      The purpose is to try and identify the cause of incorrect variant calls... Is base-specific read quality a factor?

        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

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        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
