    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?

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
