    Tophat chromosome position greater than chromosome size

    I use tophat to map the rna-seq reads (paired-end). It seems that some of the reads in the .sam do not make sense. Please see some examples below:

    Example line 1:
    NB500923:20:H7WCJBGXX:1:12109:13961:14748 385 chr1 11646 3 151M chr22 114359002 0 CTTTTGGATTTTTGCCAGTCTAACAGGTGAAGCCCTGGAGATTCTTATTAGTGATTTGGGCTGGGGCCTGGCCATGTGTATTTTTTTAAATTTCCACTGATGATTTTGCTGCATGGCCGGTGTTGAGAATGACTGCGCAAATTTGCCGGAT AAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE<EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE/AEEEEEEEEAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAEA/EAA<EEEEEEAEA/<AEE XA:i:0 MD:Z:151 NM:i:0 NH:i:2 CC:Z:chr15 CP:i:102519374 HI:i:0

    In the above line, it says the start position of the mate on chr22 is 114359002, however, the size of the chr22 is only 51304566

    Example line 2:
    NB500923:20:H7WCJBGXX:1:23107:14442:20318 323 chr1 11696 0 151M chrUn_GL000249 155257832 0 GTGATTTGGGCTGGGGCCTGGCCATGTGTATTTTTTTAAATTTCCACTGATGATTTTGCTGCATGGCCGGTGTTGAGAATGACTGTGCAAATTTGCCGGATTTCCTTCGCTGTTCCTGCATGTAGTTTAAACGAGATTGCCAGCACCGGGT AAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAEEEEEEEEEEEEEAEEEEEAEEEEEEE<EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAEEA<EEEEEE XA:i:2 MD:Z:85C21T43 NM:i:2 NH:i:8 CC:Z:= CP:i:11696 HI:i:4

    It says the start position of the mate on chrUn_GL000249 is 155257832, however, the total size of chrUn_GL000249 is only 38502.

    Can anyone tell how this could happen? and how to fix the file?

    Thanks,

      Looks like this is a bug in the version of tophat2 that you're using. If you're using the most recent version, then please report this to the authors so they can fix it.

        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.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
