Bioscope pipeline was used to align the data. In order to get reads in
color space and their quality

param<- ScanBamParam(tag=c("CQ"))

and

param<- ScanBamParam(tag=c("CS"))


should be specified.

Best,

Quoting James MacDonald <[email protected]>:

What aligner are you using that returns the sequences in color space? The SAM format specifies that:

"Color alignments are stored as normal nucleotide alignments with additional tags describing the raw color sequences, ..."

So in general I wouldn't expect the seq to be color space, but nucleotide space. Depending on the aligner, you may get a CS:Z: tag of color space sequence, but I don't believe scanBam will parse that.

Best,

Jim

Hello list,

Can scanBam() be used with AB SOLID data (bam files) so that it can
return sequences in color space and with the right lengths?

My read sequences are 50 bp in lengths however scanBam() is returning
sequences of length between 25 - 27 (they seem to be clipped) and
which are not in color space.

Many thanks for any suggestions,

Ivan
