    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,

      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.

      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.
