  • 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.

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
