    sequence and quality are inconsistent - modifying sam files to reflect differe ASCII

    I ran into the "sequence and quality are inconsistent" error when trying to use samtools view -Sb on some bwa aln sam files. I read in a previous thread http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17353
    that someone else who had this problem found it was due to the -I parameter used during the bwa aln > sai step. I also used -I as I have Illumina data and thought this was appropriate - maybe I was wrong. This is the only reason I have been able to find for this error (excluding file size problems -- and my sai files match in size and are of the size I would expect). Below are the commands I used and the line from the sam file that threw the error message. So, 2 questions:

    1) Is this an ASCII quality score issue?
    2) If this is in fact an ASCII quality score issue, is there a tool out there to convert the scores from within the sam file so I can avoid re-running all 10 of my samples (which run for over 6 hours each)?

    Thanks in advance!!

    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
