  • a trans-chromosomal "proper pair"?

    How could two reads define a "proper pair" when they do not map on the same target? Here are the bam entries I do not understand (from bwa):

    Code:
    HWI-ST314:228:C1NU0ACXX:6:2205:3950:78621       99      chr1    315318847       29      10M1D12M14S     chr2    3874    0       GGATGGGGTGAAGCTGGAGGATAGGCGCCCCATCTG     IJJIJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJIJJHHHGHFFFFFCCC    XT:A:M  NM:i:5  SM:i:29 AM:i:29 XM:i:4  XO:i:1  XG:i:1  MD:Z:2C2T4^C1G6A3
    HWI-ST314:228:C1NU0ACXX:6:2205:3950:78621       147     chr2    3874    29      36M     chr1    315318847       0       CCATGAGGCACAGGCGGTAGCATTCAGGGCAGTGCC     CCCFFFFFHHHHHGJJJGHIIIJIJJJJJIJIJIIJ    XT:A:U  NM:i:0  SM:i:29 AM:i:29 X0:i:1  X1:i:0  XM:i:0  XO:i:0  XG:i:0  MD:Z:36
    Flag 99:
    read paired
    read mapped in proper pair
    mate reverse strand
    first in pair

    Flag 147:
    read paired
    read mapped in proper pair
    read reverse strand
    second in pair


    How can they map on different chromosomes (chr1 and chr2) and still qualify as "proper pair"? While most of the "proper pairs" in this file do map on the same target (and in a convergent orientation, with an insert size in the expected range), I do not understand a couple of them...

    Thanks for any comment.

    Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
    by seqadmin




    Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

    Recent Developments in Metagenomics
    by seqadmin





    Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...
