    Program to view multiple alignment files at once

    I have aligned reads to a database containing 10 reference sequences using BWA MEM, and now have .sam and .bam files.

    Is there a program that would allow me to few those 10 alignments within the one .sam/.bam file all at once?

    I am currently using Tablet, but this only allows me to view the alignment for each reference sequence one at a time.

    Alternatively, is there a program that would allow me to view multiple .sam/.bam files at once, when each of those .sam/.bam files have only 1 reference sequence?

    I'm sorry if this question has been answered before but I couldn't find a post that answered this for me.

    Thank you for your help.

    Are you sure about tablet not being able to open more than one alignment?

    In any case IGV will allow you to open multiple files (aligned to same genome). You will need to make sure you have enough RAM available and change the startup script for IGV to make more RAM available as needed.

      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
