Hi everyone. I have to analyze some paired end reads coming from a Illumina MiSeq experiment. What I want to do is removing duplicate reads that not only have the same start-end coordinates but also have 100% sequence identity. Is there any tool that can help me do that? I want to work with BAM files not with FastQ files. Thanks!

If sequences have 100% identity then they should have the same mapping coordinates, so there's no reason to work with bam files in this case. I wrote a program that can do this for fastq, but not for bam:
dedupe.sh in=reads.fq out=deduped.fq ac=f t=1
There should be tools that can do so on bam files by sorting by sequence, but I don't know what they are offhand.

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.

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.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM
