Does anyone have any suggestions for software tools to obtain counts for paired-end Strand-specific RNA-seq data? I used Tophat for my genome alignment and need a counting tool now to align to a reference transcriptome. I have tried coverageBed and Htseq-count. CoverageBed does not treat my paired end data properly and htseq-count seems to only work on my some of my samples and not all. Any other tools out there to use on this type of rna-seq data?

Could you explain what you meant by "reference transcriptome"? -
I mean a file with defined transcripts and their corresponding exon coordinates to use with the counting software.
The tophat output gives my reads mapped to the entire genome (mm10 in this case) then for the next step, I use a transcriptome file that has defined transcripts with exon coordinates. I am interested in obtaining read counts that align to each transcript or to each transcripts exons in the file.Comment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
