    strange bwa/samtools behaviour (?)

    Hello everyone
    First of all, I'd like to thank you for this super-useful community everyone's contributing to build up. It's a kind of next-gen sequencing for me
    Now, coming to my question:
    I'm quite new in next-gen sequencing and I'm working with Illumina data (paired-end, 76bp long reads, whole exome) and I cannot have any of my aligned bam/sam files with header included. That is, I have all the pretty @SQ lines and @PG line at the end of the header. What I can't gain is the @HD/tVN/SO line at the very beginning of the header.

    In addiction, if i try to do
    bwa aln - bwa sampe - samtools view - samtools sort in a separate way, when I try to give a look to my new-beautiful-bam-file's header I'll receive always this message:

    samtools view -H prova.bam <- my command
    [bam_header_read] EOF marker is absent.

    while, when I sort it, I get this other one:
    samtools sort prova.bam prova_sorted <- my command

    [bam_header_read] EOF marker is absent. The input is probably truncated.

    All of this doesn't happen at all if I do that in a piped way...even if the @HD/tVN:/tSO line is still missing

    Any ideas would be particularly appreciated

    wherever you go, whatever you do, always bring a bioinformatic with you

    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
