    How does BWA identify PCR duplicates correctly?

    Does it use the usual "same-start-position-for-both-paired-ends" approach? If so, why do many users do this check manually or use picard and the like to do this check instead of just filtering by this flag in the CIGAR string? Am I missing something?

    The flag in the cigar string is left 0 by default, and is only changed if a piece of software changes it. I'm pretty sure bwa does not check for this, so the fact that the flag is unset by bwa doesn't means that bwa actually determined that the read is not a PCR duplicate.

      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
