From Tophat to Pysam July 21, 2010
I recently needed to interact with a SAM file in python that was created as part of a Tophat run. Rather rolling my own parser I decided to use the handy pysam module. However, I immediately ran into trouble. I couldn’t get pysam to open my file. It turns out pysam requires a BAM file not a SAM file. This meant I need to convert filetypes. So, I fired up sa […]
Inferring Heterozygosity from SNP data April 20, 2010
This looks straightforward. n = total number of reads aligning to a base y = total number of reads aligning to a base that match the reference p = probability that reads match the reference base Bases with LOD>3 were called SNPs or sites of heterozygosity. From Bloom et al. (2009) Measuring differential gene expression by short read sequencing: quantitat […]
Why we are "Python Fanboys" April 15, 2010
I think I can safely say that we’re all Python evangelists. In fact, I’m pretty sure my first conversation with ‘FixedByDrift’ revolved around just how enamored with Python he is.

Version Control Failure
Published: April 8, 2010

My Note: This is moderately terrifying. Luckily, there is only one anole genome version publicly available at this point in time.
Well, it was inevitable. A huge (and expensive) case of confused human genome versions.While the human genome is 10 years old, that was hardly the final word. Lots of mopping up remained on the original proj...
