  • 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.

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
