BRIG question (mystery blue spikes)
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has used BRIG (Blast Ring Image Generator) previously?
I am trying to make a "mapping coverage" circular genome starting with a .sam file. Everything looks fine except there are mysterious blue spikes (please see attachment) appearing on the "upside" of the ring.
Does anyone know what they are, and how to get rid of them?
Thanks
Joyce

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
