  • keeping heterozygote information in fasta format from .bam files

    Hi everyone,

    I’m using the GATK “FastaAlternateReferenceMaker” walker to pull out candidate gene sequences from my .bam files. What I would like to do is create alignments of particular genes across multiple individuals, then assess the sequence and SNP for evidence of selection (Dn / Ds ratios etc). My problem is that FastaAlternateReferenceMaker squashes out heterozygous positions to include only the consensus base. Given it is designed to make a ‘reference’ sequence this is understandable.

    I can’t see a way to direct FastaAlternateReferenceMaker to keep the heterozygote information by incorporating IUPAC nucleotides (C/T = Y etc). Do you know of an alternative tool I can use that will do this? Any help appreciated!

    Cheers

    I am interested in the same question. Did you ever find a suitable answer?

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
