Understanding SAM/BAM file specifications

Показать описание
The sequencing Alignment Mapping (SAM) file was designed to store the mapping data of a sample against a reference genome in a way that allow for easy downstream analysis.

In this video, I hope to go through the basic SAM file specifications based on the original documentation from Samtools. SAM file mostly consists of two sections, a header section that records information on the reference genome and experiential details, and an alignment section that records the individual nucleotide sequence difference between the samples and the reference.

Have you done the alignment with pysam? I am having some trouble with my alignment. The code is: samfile = pysam.AlignmentFile(files, "rb") . It doesn't like the call of the files.. error msg : IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] could not open alignment file `bam/`: Is a directory
