Is there a tool or script that can help identify false positives from a BAM file? Thanks.

False-positive what? Alignments? Filter by MAPQ. -
We use Ion Torrent PGM sequencing and use the aligned hg19 BAM in NextGene. I know that TVC is better at removing false positive variants, presumably because it has access to the SFF file and which contain signal values in flow space and a mapping between sequence. Is there a preferred or optimal way to asses MAPQ in the BMA alignment? Thanks.Last edited by cmccabe; 08-25-2014, 06:07 AM.Comment

As NextGene is a commercial package, you should ask the company that makes it for suggestions. You'll generally find that the community won't provide any support/feedback for such packages.Comment

I have contacted them and explained the issue. I am sure that future versions of the software will get better, but in the meantime I want to ensure that we are providing the best information possible. I am looking for some ideas from community members in developing a perl script to help address this. Some of the false positive calls have great PhreD scores (> 20), with good balance, so I am stumped. Thanks.Comment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
