    BAM -> FASTQ why can I not produce the same result?

    Dear all, I've been trying to test if I can produce the same fusion call starting from BAM instead of FASQ. My STAR command is as such.

    HTML Code:
    STAR --genomeDir /index/hg38.p5/ \
    --readFilesIn T1_1.fq.gz T1_2.fq.gz \
    --readFilesCommand zcat --outFileNamePrefix T1 --outSAMtype BAM SortedByCoordinate --quantMode GeneCounts --sjdbGTFfile /index/hg38.gtf
    This is how the resulting BAM file looks like.

    HTML Code:
    samtools flagstat T1Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam
    
    121206267 + 0 in total (QC-passed reads + QC-failed reads)
    11756519 + 0 secondary
    0 + 0 supplementary
    0 + 0 duplicates
    121206267 + 0 mapped (100.00% : N/A)
    109449748 + 0 paired in sequencing
    54766664 + 0 read1
    54683084 + 0 read2
    109354332 + 0 properly paired (99.91% : N/A)
    109354332 + 0 with itself and mate mapped
    95416 + 0 singletons (0.09% : N/A)
    0 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr
    0 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>=5)
    However, I have tried a number of tools including the following.
    HTML Code:
    1. samtools sort -n --threads 4 ./T1Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam|samtools fastq -1 T1_R1_.fq -2 T1_R2_.fq -0 test.fq -
    I tried converting back to uBAM and doing it again.

    HTML Code:
    /picard-tools-2.2.4/picard.jar RevertSam I=T1Aligned.sortedByCoord.out.bam O=T1.ubam QUIET=true VALIDATION_STRINGENCY=SILENT
    
    /picard-tools-2.2.4/picard.jar SamToFastq INPUT=T1.ubam FASTQ=T1_R1_.fq SECOND_END_FASTQ=T2_R2_.fq VALIDATION_STRINGENCY=SILENT
    I also tried out this tutorial herehttps://gist.github.com/darencard/72...64ca512a04a6dd, but failed because of some read mismatch.

    I also tried bedtools bamtofastq but nothing works. When I input fastq vs what I can derive from BAM-> Fastq I'm not getting the same fusion output as I did previously. Anybody with suggestions? Thanks!

      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
