Does anyone know of a good source for understanding the alignment description format of Bowtie's MD tag? I'm trying to work out a parser to give me a simple alignment of reference/read from this information. Thanks!

You can take a look at the source code within SAMtools for creating the MD tag (bam_md.c) or within the PERL SAM module (http://search.cpan.org/~lds/Bio-SamT.../Bio/DB/Sam.pm). Both will show you how to recover the reference sequence using the MD tag and the cigar.Originally posted by mendl7 View Post -
Excellent. Thanks for pointing out the sources they are in. Cheers.Comment

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
