NGS data logistics

Abstract

In this section we will look at practical aspects of manipulation of next-generation sequencing data. We will start with the FASTQ format produced by most sequencing machines and will finish with the SAM/BAM format representing mapped reads. The cover image above shows a screen dump of a SAM dataset.
