[Gmod-help] GMOD for Next Generation Sequencing

[Dave Clements, GMOD Help Desk]

Hi Bala,

Yes, although the presentation you are looking at did not use it
because it didn't yet exist.

In the last few months Lincoln has written a SAMtools database adaptor
for GBrowse.  It's available in CVS in GBrowse under the
gbrowse-adaptors directory.  I just got it really working on my laptop
today.

SAMtools is a set of programs that manipulate files in SAM and BAM
format.  BAM is the binary version of SAM.  SAM is an indexed,
compressed short read format.  The GBrowse adaptor reads from it.

However, some big caveats:
1. It is only useful in GBrowse 2.  In GBrowse 1 you can only specify
one adaptor.  Not so in 2.
2. It is not currently documented.

I'm giving two talks on this in the next two weeks.  The first talk
should be available on the GMOD web site around June 7.   A wiki
version of that talk should be available on the GMOD web site by the
end of June.

Is that soon enough?  If not I can go through my notes and try and
extract something meaningful.

Also note that the SAMtools adaptor only changes the E coli part of
that presentation.  Everything shown in the threespine stickleback is
still done using long existing technology (and lots of disk space).
