    BWA: suboptimal alignments

    Hi,
    I wonder is it possible for BWA to avoid search for suboptimal alignments? I want only equally best hits to be reported.
    And could I somehow limit the possible number of equally best hits that would be reported in X0 tag? It could be done for XA, but for X0... E.g., read1 could be equally mapped to the 100 positions. Will BWA report 100 in the X0?
    thanks!

    you can write a simple script to filter the output.

      Yes, I just thought that maybe there is a built-in option.
      And what is the upper limit for the parameter -n in samse (Maximum number of alignments to output in the XA tag)? I have one read that could be mapped equally good to 578 positions (at least so does X0 tag tell), but when I set -n 1000 I didn't get all these 578 alignments in XA tag.

      UPD: sorry, they are in sam file, they just were not parsed by my script.
      But anyway, is there any inherent limit for -n or not?

        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
