    Mosaik alignment

    I would like to get the unmapped reads to do other analysis.

    MosiakAligner (version:1.0.1367) has an option (-rur) to store unaligned reads in a FASTQ file. But I can not get correct decimal quailty score in that fastq using MAQ fq_all2std.pl. I observed the problem is the negative score.

    Here is the command I used to mapping and get unaligned reads.

    MosaikBuild -fr test.solexa.fasta -fq test.solexa.qual -out
    test.solexa.fasta.mosaik.dat -st illumina
    MosaikAligner -in test.solexa.fasta.mosaik.dat -out test.mosaik.aligned.dat
    -ia fasta.ref.dat -hs 15 -mm 6 -mhp 100 -act 13 -rur test.unalinged.fastq

    Expected output
    >GAIIX_6_1000055:8:1:0:1821
    -3 1 -2 -2 2 -3 -5 11 -3 -5 -3 -3 1 -1 -5 20 4 5 -2 -5 5 4 -1 8 0 5 -2 -3
    -2 -3 -2 1 4 6 -1 4 2 1 -2 -4 9 2 -1 -3 4 0 14 -4 -3
    Observed:
    @GAIIX_6_1000055:8:1:0:1821 (mate 1, length=49)
    CTGCCTNACNAGAANCGAANCTCCGCCGCCCCACTAACTCCTTTACCGC
    +
    ^^"^_^_#^^^\,^^^\^^^^" ^\5%&^_^\&% )!&^_^^^_^^^_"%' %#"^_^]*# ^^%!/^]^^

    The ascii code is longer than the length of sequence (49).

    I try to understand the ascii code for negative quality score. The compact
    form of fastq should be one acsii code to quality score mapping. But now it
    is two ascii codes.
    -5 => ^\
    -4 => ^]
    -3 => ^^
    -2 => ^_
    -1 => space

    Do you have any suggestions to convert it back to correct decimal quality score?

    Thanks,

    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
