  • SAM files aligned by Bowtie - Mystified.

    Hi,

    This is one of my first forays in SOLID data so please bear with me if the question is basic;

    I had aligned SOLID data individually (forward, reverse) using bowtie color space -
    bowtie -t -p 4 -C --sam --chunkmbs 1000 /Bowtie-Reference/Bowtie-C/h_sapiens_37_asm_c -f read1.csfasta -Q read1.QV.qual read1.sam

    I ended up getting a sam file with what appears to me a malformed sam files;

    1_2_1079_F3 4 * 0 0 * * 0 0 CCGTGATGGCTACCCCTGGGGTTACATATAAATT *?626A@@:@-@@@@2>>@6*5=**.;.--<@=3 XM:i:0

    1_3_10_F3 0 gi|224589818|ref|NC_000006.11| 33410152 255 33M * 0 0 ATTCCCGCCTCTCCTTTCATTTGTCCACATCTC \IFIAGPMOYZL>PRAN`a/#S30FHP?J/!!' XA:i:2 MD:Z:33 NM:i:0 CM:i:4

    I kind of figured that "*" on 3rd column, "@" and some CIGAR sequence in the next line as mal-formed elements. I would very much appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this and suggest any solution to this problem.

    Thanks

    Uma

    I am not sure I understand your question. It appears to me that your first SAM line (starting with '1_2...') is a valid line where the read does not map while your second SAM lines (starting with '1_3...') is also a valid line that represents a read that does map.

      One thing I noticed is that the phred scores for the second read span too big of a range to be any of the typical formats.

      Edit: Although perhaps it's just not one I've ever seen! I had a reply similar to your written yesterday before noticing the Phred issue.

        Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
        by seqadmin



        The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

        Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
        by seqadmin



        Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
