    HISAT2: a surprising read shows up in alignment results

    I was spot-checking the output of alignment results from HISAT2 and noticed one read (CATCTTGTTTCACACTAGTCACATTCTTGTTTTAAGTGCCTTTAGTTTTAACAGTTCACTTTTTACAGTACTATTT shown below) that does not exist in my input fastq files. Is this the result of a bug or am I missing anything?

    $ hisat2 -p 40 -x hg19/genome -1 read1.fq.gz -2 read2.fq.gz 2>/dev/null | grep CATCTTGTTTCACACTAGTCACATTCTTGTTTTAAGTGCCTTTAGTTTTAACAGTTCACTTTTTACAGTACTATTT
    HISEQ:287:CCK1AANXX:5:2307:14574:99798 409 chr19 14733987 0 76M = 14733987 0 CATCTTGTTTCACACTAGTCACATTCTTGTTTTAAGTGCCTTTAGTTTTAACAGTTCACTTTTTACAGTACTATTT GGGGGGGGCGGGEGG>FGGGGGGBEGGGD@GEGEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGCBCCC AS:i:-5 ZS:i:-5 XN:i:0 XM:i:1 XO:i:0 XG:i:0 NM:i:1 MD:Z:69G6 YT:Z:UP NH:i:2

    The other two entries in the sam output with read name of HISEQ:287:CCK1AANXX:5:2307:14574:99798 are from my input fastq files as expected (a read pair).

    I appreciate any comments. Thanks!

    Here's the answer (thanks to Daehwan from the HISAT2 team):
    CATCTTGTTTCACACTAGTCACATTCTTGTTTTAAGTGCCTTTAGTTTTAACAGTTCACTTTTTACAGTACTATTT is the reverse complement of AAATAGTACTGTAAAAAGTGAACTGTTAAAACTAAAGGCACTTAAAACAAGAATGTGACTAGTGTGAAACAAGATG, which is read 1 of HISEQ:287:CCK1AANXX:5:2307:14574:99798.

      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.

      The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

      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...
