    bwa

    Dear all,
    Using bwa, I would like to select only reads that I am very sure about ...
    it is to say, reads that have unique match (mismatch would be allowed as SNP are too frequent to consider the no-mismatch option, however, I am considering putting a limit but I don't really know which one, my reads are 75 bp illumina for the moment.)
    I am trying to think to some solution regarding paired-ends : should both paired-ends be unique match, only one ? to be kept as very sure mapped reads.
    I am not quite sure if I should play with bwa option to restrict the search or if I should use the sam format (I will probably need some help with the flag thing, it has been quite a while since I had a look at this) to select afterwards (if we consider that calculation time is not a problem ...) .
    I would really appreciate comments, ideas and help

    thanks a lot

    Set a cutoff on mapping quality. See also:

    Download SAM tools for free. SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map) is a flexible generic format for storing nucleotide sequence alignment. SAMtools provide efficient utilities on manipulating alignments in the SAM format.

        thanks lh3, where can I get some documentation about the mapping quality score (range, "stringentness" ...?

          Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
          by SEQadmin2



          CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

          Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

          Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
          by SEQadmin2


          Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

          Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
          by SEQadmin2



          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.
