  • BWA errors after quality trimming

    After I use the "-q 20" option in bwa aln I start getting errors down the road eg when i run ValidateSamFile in picard I get lots of "Mate negative strand flag does not match read negative strand flag of mate" and then "Sequence and quality are inconsistent" errors as well. I have run all the same commands without the -q option without these problems. I am very new to all this and not sure where I'm going wrong!

    A little late, but I am also running -q option and curious if you identified the problem.

      No I ended up just running it without trimming as I decided it wasn't really necessary

        This is a bug in BWA. If you use -q it puts the trimmed nucleotide read in the output SAM file but the quality sequence is not trimmed at all and thus there is a difference in the length of the read and the length of the quality string. Either use some third party tool like trimgalore to trim your fastq reads before aligning and don't use BWA -q option at all OR use some script that takes SAM file and trims off the base quality string accordingly.

          Addressing Off-Target Effects in CRISPR Technologies
          by seqadmin






          The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...

          Selecting and Optimizing mRNA Library Preparations
          by seqadmin



          Sequencing mRNA provides a snapshot of cellular activity, allowing researchers to study the dynamics of cellular processes, compare gene expression across different tissue types, and gain insights into the mechanisms of complex diseases. “mRNA’s central role in the dogma of molecular biology makes it a logical and relevant focus for transcriptomic studies,” stated Sebastian Aguilar Pierlé, Ph.D., Application Development Lead at Inorevia. “One of the major hurdles for...
