  • Isolating barcoded reads in .Bam file

    Greetings,

    I have MiSeq data containing 5M paired end reads of my sample. The sample originally contained some 30,000 individual fragments of up to 3kb each containing a bar-code on both ends. The reads were sheared to 150bp and sequenced in Ilumina Miseq. I am trying the following.
    1. /grep the original Fastaq file for the reads containing the barcode and recording the ID for ~300,000 reads (only about 10,000 unique reads). --Complete
    2. Generate .bam file of the entire fastaq file aligned to the genome --Complete
    3. Pull out the genomic start location of each of the aligned reads that match the ID from from step 1.--Incomplete
    4. Plot locations of barcoded reads across reference. --Incomplete

    I have limited programming experience. So far, i'm using Matlab to parse out the bar-coded regions, but am stuck at trying to match the bar-code ID's to the aligned reads from the .BAM file. How can I make a file containing the position of reads (or even the entire read entry) in my .bam file based on another file containing read ID? Would it be easiest to do a new alignment with my much smaller set of bar-coded fastq files?

    Thank you,
    Ben

    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...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
