    Simple way to get basecounts from pileup?

    Hello,

    I have a problem that seems like it should be simple to solve but I am having difficulties. I need a way to print the basecounts for ~50 SNP positions in each of ~15 pileup files of different E. coli populations. I have tried using varscan readcounts, but the output is formatted irregularly, with the bases in a different order for each SNP, making it difficult to print the results of 15 different libraries to one file. (I have very beginner python skills).

    It seems like there must be other options out there to do something as simple as this, but I haven't been able to find anything.

    Any insights and advice about this would be greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks!

    -Jessica

    Try pysam !
    It will give you a nice API for doing what you want programmatically in Python.

    Best,

      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
