    calctruequality in bbmap

    I'm trying to recalibrate Q scores of a NextSeq run using MiSeq contigs assembled with Tadpole. The commands I used to map the reads to the reference were as follows:

    >bbmap.sh in=concatABC.fastq.gz outm=mapped.sam ref=./Lpe09_06TdpAssemblies/contigs09_06.fa ignorequality maxindel=100 minratio=0.4 ambig=toss qahist=qahist_raw.txt qhist=qhist_raw.txt mhist=mhist_raw.txt

    The command I used to get the calibration matrices was:
    >calctruequality.sh in=mapped.sam

    I get the following output
    java -ea -Xmx57992m -Xms57992m -cp /home/me/bbmap/current/ jgi.CalcTrueQuality in=mapped.sam
    Executing jgi.CalcTrueQuality [in=mapped.sam]

    The program never quit so I don't know if it had stopped or was hanging but I let it sit there for over an hour. I didn't see /ref/qual/ files being generated. I'm not sure how to proceed. Since the mapped sam file was generated with bbmap using contigs from Tadpole, I'm not sure why there are Ms in the cigar strings. The infile I used for bbmap was made by first concatenating all Read1 from 3 libraries then all Read2 from 3 libraries then those two files concatenated.

    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, detection...

    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
