    BWA-mem and BWA-aln reads with multiple mapping

    I have read that for bwa-aln

    samse bwa samse [-n maxOcc] <in.db.fasta> <in.sai> <in.fq> > <out.sam>
    Generate alignments in the SAM format given single-end reads. Repetitive hits will be randomly chosen.

    and for bwa-mem
    This post (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51081) refers to a post that states that "BWA makes random choice".

    Is it possible to set a seed or in some other way ensure that bwa-aln and bwa-mem are deterministic? i.e same reads => same mapping.

    I am seeing a case where 2 runs of the same analyses gives different results due to random mapping of some shorter reads (post trimming).

    Thanks

    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
