The Sequence Alignment/Map format and SAMtools
Open accessAbstract
SUMMARY: The Sequence Alignment/Map (SAM) format is a generic alignment format for storing read alignments against reference sequences, supporting short and long reads (up to 128 Mbp) produced by different sequencing platforms. It is flexible in style, compact in size, efficient in random access and is the format in which alignments from the 1000 Genomes Project are released. SAMtools implements various utilities for post-processing alignments in the SAM format, such as indexing, variant caller and alignment viewer, and thus provides universal tools for processing read alignments.

In the citing paper
“Mapping reads to specific genes is relatively straightforward with the bioinformatics tools available today [10-13], but using these tools to distinguish between reads derived from alternative alleles of the same gene remains challenging [9].”

The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.

“Droplet single cell RNA-sequencing (dscRNA-seq) has increased substantially the throughput of single cell capture and library preparation1, 10, enabling the simultaneous profiling of thousands of cells.”

“While strategies to demultiplex cells from different species1, 10, 17 or host and graft samples17 have been reported, simultaneously demultiplexing and detecting doublets from more than two individuals has not been possible.”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the citing paper
“After the Trimmmed Mean of M-values (TMM)55 and limma-voom normalization, we found that samples A and B were well distinguished by multidimensional scaling (Supplementary Fig. 21d), and that the two replicates with abnormal GC content distributions (PGM1.A.4 and PGM2.A.2) were separated from the other replicates of sample A at dimension 2.”

In the citing paper
“Only uniquely mapped reads were retained, and the alignments were subsequently filtered using the SAMtools package (v0.1.19)88 to remove duplicate reads.”
From Epigenetic regulation of brain region-specific microglia clearance activity (2018) · cites this paper as [88]
In the citing paper
“We evaluated the potential of whole genome imputation to infer diploid genotypes from low-coverage genomes by randomly subsampling our high-coverage genomes (NE1 and BR2) to a series of coverages ranging from 0.1 to 5 × using SAMtools45”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
