alignment software and ref sequence
We are currently using MAQ to align our Solexa reads to our reference sequence. Does anyone know if MAQ can also tell me which parts of my reference sequence have no reads aligned to them? If not, can anyone suggest a program that can tell me this info? Thanks!

Pretty sure MAQ can't, and a quick scan of the man page didn't yield anything.
Have you tried one of the visualization tools? Only one I know off the top of my head is tablet, but unfortunately haven't had a chance to play with it myself:

Actually, if I am not wrong, Maq`s pileup output has a column with the number of reads aligning at a given position, so you can get those with a 0 coverage out

MIRA does. Can even give back a list of genes and/or intergenic regions which are hit by this (if references sequence has annotations like, e.g., a GenBank). If you're working with 20 to 30m reads, have a look at it.Originally posted by mlee View Post
Beware, being a de-novo assembler, it's a lot more memory intensive than other mapping programs when used for mapping only.

Disclaimer: I wrote MIRA. It's useful to me but it might not be for you. Feedback appreciated.

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...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
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.
The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM
