    consensus sequence

    have mapped illumina PE reads to the reference genome using BWA and now, would like to get a consensus sequence of the mapped reads- can samtools be used on the aligned bam file??

      samtools mpileup -uf /<reference.fasta> <aligned.bam> | bcftools view -bcg - > <intermediate.bcf>

      gave me an error: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token "<

      I was wondering BCFtools are part of samtools, right?- is this the correct comand?

        You don't literally use < > around the file names.

          has anyone tried this command to generate a consensus file

          samtools mpileup -uf reference.fasta sorted_alignment.bam | bcftools view -cg - | vcfutils.pl vcf2fq

          but where should I put the output file name???

            Code:
            $ samtools mpileup -uf reference.fasta sorted_alignment.bam | bcftools view -cg - | vcfutils.pl vcf2fq > output_file_name

              yes- thanks.
              I will ignore the abnormal shapes that appeared after the sequence

                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
