    sam file total matched base and total bases

    I have a fasta, most of the sequence is from repeat region, so they can be mapped to reference in sam lots of times. I use bwa mem with "-a" option, so they appear many times in different position of reference. Now I want to calculate the total matched bases / total bases in the sam file. I use samtools stats result.sam, the report is below:

    # This file was produced by samtools stats (1.3.1+htslib-1.3.1) and can be plott
    ed using plot-bamstats
    # This file contains statistics for all reads.
    # The command line was: stats result.sam
    # CHK, Checksum [2]Read Names [3]Sequences [4]Qualities
    # CHK, CRC32 of reads which passed filtering followed by addition (32bit overflo
    w)
    CHK 8146bdfb 3b00f1ed 091ce229
    # Summary Numbers. Use `grep ^SN | cut -f 2-` to extract this part.
    SN raw total sequences: 961
    SN filtered sequences: 0
    SN sequences: 961
    SN is sorted: 0
    SN 1st fragments: 961
    SN last fragments: 0
    SN reads mapped: 961
    SN reads mapped and paired: 0 # paired-end technology bit set
    + both mates mapped
    SN reads unmapped: 0
    SN reads properly paired: 0 # proper-pair bit set
    SN reads paired: 0 # paired-end technology bit set
    SN reads duplicated: 0 # PCR or optical duplicate bit set
    SN reads MQ0: 384 # mapped and MQ=0
    SN reads QC failed: 0
    SN non-primary alignments: 24643
    SN total length: 4353396 # ignores clipping
    SN bases mapped: 4353396 # ignores clipping
    SN bases mapped (cigar): 4428969 # more accurate

    SN bases trimmed: 0
    SN bases duplicated: 0
    SN mismatches: 79181 # from NM fields
    SN error rate: 1.787798e-02 # mismatches / bases mapped (cigar)
    SN average length: 4530
    SN maximum length: 14146
    SN average quality: 255.0
    SN insert size average: 0.0
    SN insert size standard deviation: 0.0
    SN inward oriented pairs: 0
    SN outward oriented pairs: 0
    SN pairs with other orientation: 0
    SN pairs on different chromosomes: 0

    The total mapped bases(cigar) 4428969 is longer than the total length 4353396, because the my reads are mostly repeat? What is the total bases mean in the report? So if I want to get the ratio of total matched bases / total bases, do I need to analysis cigar myself ? I try picard, but it always report error though I validate the sam without error.

    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
