Does anyone know if BWA is handling masked sequences properly? I'm having a problem where I find some reads aligned to genome gaps. I have tried converting the N's to X's, but still encountering the same problem.

This is a known issue. Ambiguous bases are converted to random sequences. If you use bwa-short, the XN tag tells you how many "N" in the alignment. If you use bwasw, you do not get this information, but you may find such hits by checking you reference genome.
The chance of a good alignment arising from random hits is vanishingly small. Just ignore those hits. -
thanks
Thanks!
I just want to add that the N's in my sequence are not for ambigious bases, they represent a sequence gap of unknown size.. So basically its a long stretch [ATGC]+NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN[ATGC]+Last edited by rand; 11-09-2009, 08:08 AM.Comment

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM
