Hi everyone, I am little confused Cigar and cigar-op. Can you explain the diff? Thank you!

a cigar string is an array of cigar elements
a cigar element is a pair of cigar-operator, cigar-length
cigar-operator (H,S,E,X,=,I,D...) define the type of pairwise alignment (e.g D=deletion from REF)
cigar-length is the length of the operation (e;g: D100 deletion of 100bp) -
Can you give me the meaning of all those signals H,S,E,X,=, I,D,.. or which material I can look up them?Originally posted by lindenb View PostComment

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...
