    Extract mapped information from bam files

    Hello,

    I have 3 bam files that i wanted to compare against each other. For example i have reference file with 10,000 sequences. I have paired end reads sequenced for 3 different samples.

    1) Sample 1 is 100% same as reference so we expect all reads to map to it 2) Sample 2 is 80% similar to reference so 20% of reference sequences wont have any reads 3) Sample 3 is 60% similar to reference and 40% of reference wont have any reads.

    Now my goal is to identify what reference sequences doesnot have any reads mapped in Sample 2 and 3.I need to identify the 20% reference sequences from Sample 2 and 40% from Sample 3.

    Also in some cases in a reference which is approx 10kb long, sample 1 maps to entire 10kb, sample 2 maps to first 5kb and sample 3 maps to last 3kb. so i need to identify the partial regions for those reference sequences as well.

    I have the mapped sorted bam files for all these three samples. I am looking in to using bedtools but not sure what in bedtools will give the answer i needed.

    i have the following commands which might do similar but it ouputs differences at every base.

    Code:
    genomeCoverageBed -bg -ibam sample1.bam > sample1.bedgraph
    
    genomeCoverageBed -bg -ibam sample2.bam > sample2.bedgraph
    
    unionBedGraphs -header -i sample1.bedgraph sample2.bedgraph -names sample1 sample2 -g reference.fai -empty > samples1and2.txt

    Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
    by SEQadmin2



    CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

    Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

    Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
    by SEQadmin2


    Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

    The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
