  • MRNM problem for the .sam output file of tophat

    Hi everyone,
    MRNM is the 7th field in the sam file. I got the sam output from tophat, it seems that the MRNM is not correct in my case.

    $ grep "HWI-EAS244_1_1_116_848_845_0_1_12496949" accepted_hits.sam
    HWI-EAS244_1_1_116_848_845_0_1_12496949;2 163 chr1 14628 255 75M = 14859 0 CCTGGCTGTGTCCATGTCAGAGCAACGGCCCAAGTCTGGGTCTGGGGGGGCAGGTGTCATGGAGCCCCCTACGCT ABA?BBBB=A>BABA@2@B=;;=9<AB8ABB38=0>A?<=4AA<9??=########################### NM:i:2
    HWI-EAS244_1_1_116_848_845_0_1_12496949;1 83 chr9 14859 255 76M = 14628 0 GGCAAAGGAGGGATGGAGTCTGACACGCGGACAAAGGCTCCTCCGGGCCCCTCACCAGCCCCAGGTCCTTTCCCAG 7>@@)@B=1@B;<(8@?@@9@A>B@BBABAAA@AAAB@@A@<AABABBBA?BB@BBBBB@BABCBCCCCCCCCCCB NM:i:0


    The MRNM is '=' here, but one is on chr1 and another is on chr9.

    From the manual , if MRNM is '=', the mate pairs should be on the same reference(same chromosome), but here it's on different chromosome. Does anybody meet the same problem? How to solve this problem?

    version of tophat: tophat1.0.13
    part of the shell code for tophat running is:
    "
    tophat -r 200 --mate-std-dev 200 -a 8 -m 0 -I 1000000 -p 4 -g 100 -o $OUTDIR/ --solexa1.3-quals --coverage-search --microexon-search --max-segment-intron 1000000 -G $GFF3 $INDEXDIR/hg19 $READDIR/s_1.fq $READDIR/s_2.fq
    "

    By the way, the FLAG (second field) in the .sam file is not correct in this case:
    163="10100011"
    83="1010011"
    This means "The read is mapped in a proper pair", but they are on the different chromosome, how can they be properly paired?

    Can you construct a small dataset I can use to reproduce this issue? It's probably a bug in matching up the left and right reads from each pair, and I haven't seen it before. If you email me a test set, I'll run it through the debugger. Thanks for your feedback.

        Hi,

        I was wondering if this is a recognised bug?

        Well actually two questions:

        (1) should TopHat be mapping mate pairs to separate chromosomes in the first place?
        (2) if this is allowed, should the MRNM field have a different value?

        Thanks for your time.

          For some reason, most of the reads that have this error are mapped to chr1 and chr9.

          The commands that I used to run TopHat and the corresponding reads in the sequence files are as follows:

          tophat --solexa1.3-quals -p 4 -r 170 /databank/indices/bowtie/GRCh37/GRCh37 s_1_1_sequence.txt s_1_2_sequence.txt

            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...

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
