I have BAM files which were run with tophat and --fusion-search --fusion-min-dist 1000000 --fusion-read-mismatches 2 --fusion-multireads 1 --fusion-multipairs 1 --fusion-anchor-length 10 -p 14.
I have 2 questions:
1. How can I create new BAM files from the current ones but with no fusion reads?
2. If I remove the fusion reads from the current BAM files would the resulting BAM files be exactly the same as if it was created without running tophat with --fusion-search?

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, detection...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
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
