    TopHat extremely low paired mapping rate. PLS HELP!

    Hey guys, I have some problems with my paried-end RNA seq analysis on Galaxy. As you can see in the bam flagstat output, my tophat alignment rate is very low.

    15620641 + 0 in total (QC-passed reads + QC-failed reads)
    0 + 0 duplicates
    15620641 + 0 mapped (100.00%:-nan%)
    15620641 + 0 paired in sequencing
    7109757 + 0 read1
    8510884 + 0 read2
    503768 + 0 properly paired (3.23%:-nan%)
    2938970 + 0 with itself and mate mapped
    12681671 + 0 singletons (81.19%:-nan%)
    0 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr
    0 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>=5)

    So this is Hiseq 100X100 PE run on mouse samples. I QC'ed by fastq using quality trimmer (>=30) and masker (>=20) and they look fairly good. I estimated the inner distance of mate paris to be 250+-200, based on a Bowtie alignment. All other parameters were kept as default.

    Can anyone tell me why they pair so badly? Could it be adaptor contamination?

    Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
    by SEQadmin2



    CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

    Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

    Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
    by SEQadmin2


    Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
