    Getting intron data (number, lengths, coverage) only from SAM/BAM file

    Hi all, and thanks for taking time to read this, with apologies if an answer already exists – I wasn't able to find it.

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a tool that can extract the total number of introns, their length, and the number of reads spanning each putative intron (coverage), given only a BAM file (no known junctions file, no unmapped (raw) reads, only BAM with non-spliced reads removed, and a reference sequence). Basically, I'm trying to find a way to export what IGV draws in the junctions track (or in sashimi plot) based on the data in a BAM file, back to a table format which might look something like this:

    Code:
    Intron	FirstBase	LastBase	Strand	Coverage
    1	1000		2000		+	67
    2	5800		5600		-	22
    …and so on for all putative introns in a given BAM file. Basically, I'd just like to do the brief summarization, as described above. I suspect that this can be done by operating on POS and CIGAR fields, but I have an uneasy feeling that this, in addition to noob, belongs into warm water-inventing territory, which I'd like to avoid if the tool for the job already exists. Therefore, I'd really appreciate your inputs on this matter. Thanks in advance.

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    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

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    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
