  • Interpretation of bwa output - has it used all the reads

    I am analyzing an RNASeq data set. I have screened reads in Trimmomatic and aligned them using bwa mem. The reads are mostly 100bp long, but a minority are as short as 30bp. Reads are submitted in two fastq files and are paired end. The input files each have a total of 61,383,869 reads.

    I get the following message in the bwa standard output:
    [M::main_mem] read 109456 sequences (10000139 bp)...
    [M::mem_pestat] # candidate unique pairs for (FF, FR, RF, RR): (45, 19766, 45, 52)

    Can anyone tell me precisely what the above means? Why did bwa read only 109,456 sequences from the millions in the fastq files?

    As only 19,908 "unique pairs" in total were reported, does this mean that the rest of the read data were all PCR duplicates?

    Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
    by seqadmin



    The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

    Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
    by seqadmin



    Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
