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

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
