  • question about bwa sam file

    Hi, Everyone

    I used bwa samse to generate a sam file (all of setting are default, including index and aln steps), but I got some lines like this:

    301 VHE-8239602811014-9-2-3-1761 16 uc008guk.1 3521 23 16M * 0 0 AGTGCTCAGAGATGTA * XT:A:U NM:i:1 X0:i:1 X1:i:1 XM:i:1 XO:i:0 XG:i:0 MD:Z:13C2 XA:Z:uc009jck.1,-72,16M,2;

    Since X0 means 'Number of best hits' based on bwa manual page, in my case, it's X0:i:1, this should be only one, but it does has XA field, XA:Z:uc009jck.1,-72,16M,2;, which means it has another best match. Any comment? Also, in XA field, -72 should be position, but why is that negative?

    Thanks a lot

    Hi Gibert

    I guess the content in XA field refers to X1:i:1.

    "-" means the strand, not a negative value.

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
