  • Is this bisulfite sequencing stranded or not?

    This is my first time analyzing bisulfite sequencing. I've downloaded this ENCODE whole genome bisulfite sequencing data to analyze using Bismark. I can't find anywhere on that page where it clearly says whether it's stranded or not. I did a test alignment with one of the files (ENCFF001ZVL) of 1 million reads and these are the results:

    Default (strand-specific) alignment:

    Code:
    Final Alignment report
    ======================
    Sequences analysed in total:	1000000
    Number of alignments with a unique best hit from the different alignments:	786594
    Mapping efficiency:	78.7%
    
    Sequences with no alignments under any condition:	115586
    Sequences did not map uniquely:	97820
    Sequences which were discarded because genomic sequence could not be extracted:	0
    
    Number of sequences with unique best (first) alignment came from the bowtie output:
    CT/CT:	394999	((converted) top strand)
    CT/GA:	391595	((converted) bottom strand)
    GA/CT:	0	(complementary to (converted) top strand)
    GA/GA:	0	(complementary to (converted) bottom strand)
    
    Number of alignments to (merely theoretical) complementary strands being rejected in total:	0
    --non_directional (non-strand specific) alignment:

    Code:
    Final Alignment report
    ======================
    Sequences analysed in total:	1000000
    Number of alignments with a unique best hit from the different alignments:	785277
    Mapping efficiency:	78.5%
    
    Sequences with no alignments under any condition:	114820
    Sequences did not map uniquely:	99903
    Sequences which were discarded because genomic sequence could not be extracted:	0
    
    Number of sequences with unique best (first) alignment came from the bowtie output:
    CT/CT:	394212	((converted) top strand)
    CT/GA:	390840	((converted) bottom strand)
    GA/CT:	116	(complementary to (converted) top strand)
    GA/GA:	109	(complementary to (converted) bottom strand)

    You can go by those results and declare it to be strand-specific. In my experience, at least, that's more common than unstranded datasets too.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin


      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 on Modified Bases...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      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...
