  • Finding unmapped reads using samtools

    Hi guys,

    Samtools is truly amazing! However, there's a couple of things I was wondering about...

    Is there any way of pulling out those reads in a bam file, using samtools, where one pair of the read has mapped and the other pair of the read has not?

    Or those reads where one pair of the read has mapped and the other mapped in a position that was not expected, say for example 5 or 10kb further upstream?

    All help gratefully received!

    Study carefully the SAM specification, particularly the flag field. Once you know
    what flag to use, go ahead and use the filter capabilities in samtools view (-f/-F INT)
    to extract the reads you are interested on.

    For example (show me reads where the mate is ummapped):
    Code:
    $  samtools view -f 8 foo.bam
    -drd

      Many thanks for your response drio. I think it may take me some time deciphering the intricacies of the flag field (a good few posts to read on this site!), so I'll be back with more dumb questions after this!

      All the best,

      A

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
