    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

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
