    bwa mapped, interesting SAM output

    Hi,

    I masked a sequence using repeatmasker, where it replace regions with 'N' which it wanted to masked. After that I used bwa to map reads back to sequence. SAMTOOL displayed some region of sam file as following:

    SRR329951.3160235 16 * 1 37 99M * 0 0 ATGATCTACCCATTGTTACATGAGTGTGGTTTCAACACTACTCTGTATATAGAGACACATTTATGTCCACATCTTAAACGTCTAGTCCTTCTAGGTGTT CCC##########CCC3CCCCCCACC?CAB@:AB?CCCCBCCDCCCBCCDACC=CCCCCCCCCCCBCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC XT:A:U NM:i:2 X0:i:1 X1:i:0 XM:i:2 XO:i:0 XG:i

    In the second column it idicates that sequence being reverse complemented and third column indicates that it is mapping to "*" or undefined region.
    can anybody suggest what this could mean or if you have experienced the same then tell me the reason why this could have occur?

    RNAME: Reference sequence NAME of the alignment. If @SQ header lines are present, RNAME
    (if not `*') must be present in one of the SQ-SN tag. An unmapped segment without coordinate
    has a `*' at this eld. However, an unmapped segment may also have an ordinary coordinate
    such that it can be placed at a desired position after sorting. If RNAME is `*', no assumptions
    can be made about POS and CIGAR.

      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
