    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.

    The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
