Hello all -- my bioinformatics experience is mostly with mapping Illumina reads (to mammalian transcriptomes) using STAR. But lately my group is starting to do more work with long-read sequencing, on both PacBio and Nanopore platforms, and I'm gradually getting familiar with how to map such data. So far I've been using either the GMAP or minimap2 aligners.
My question is about setting an alignment threshold, in terms of a rate of errors (mismatches and/or indels) with respect to the genome reference. That is, I'd like to be able to limit the alignments I get to only those that have, say, a 95% exact match between the read and the reference, or only those reads with less than, say, 20 total mismatches.
With STAR, this can be controlled via the Output Filter options, such as "--outFilterMismatchNoverLmax" or "--outFilterMatchNminOverLread". But I can't figure out if there is any equivalent or similar command-line parameter that can be used in GMAP or minimap2. Can anyone advise me on this?
Thanks very much!

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
