Chunk #20 — Results — Alignment-Dependent Methods — Separating FASTQ Reads by Alignment Score

Source
Optimized splitting of mixed-species RNA sequencing data.
Embedded
yes

Text

We prepared a Python script (byAS.py) that separates RNAseq FASTQ files into human and mouse subsets based on their alignment scores in SAM files produced from HISAT2 with a mixed reference index. The alignment score, a component of the SAM file format, is calculated by each algorithm using its own method, so it can only be compared among results from a particular program.
