Question about SAM file.Thanks.

[illuminaGA]

Hello guys

I have a very basic question.

I got a sam file after mapping by BWA and I found lots of format like this:


ILLUMINA-XXXXXX:7:FC6XXXXXXXX:2:1:8471:2169 141 * 0 0 * * 0 0 TTTTTGTTCAAAAACACTCTGGAACTTAAAAGTAAAACTCTTCCACGTACATCTCTGGCTTATTGGTGTCTTTTTCTCTTTTTGAAGGCGTTTTGAAATGG IIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIFIIIIIIIIIIHIGIIIGIIIIIIIDGIIIIIGIBHGIIEGFGGIIHIDDDIIIIHHB>HC<F?C>EECAFGGD

Is previous one a unmapping reads?

Thanks a lot!

The first read isn't mapped (neither is its mate), the second is (and so is its mate). When trying to figure out a read's flag (the second column), it's convenient to have a calculator open in "programmer" mode, so you can just type a number and see visually which bits are set.

There is a tool from picard
http://picard.sourceforge.net/explain-flags.html

use the number at second column (e.g. for the first read: 141 )
