  • Tophat - aligning to known gene annotations

    Hi,

    I have a question about using TopHat. I want to map the reads only using known gene annotations (without discovering any novel splice junctions). Therefore I am using --GTF and --transcriptome-index options. However, I am not sure which option should I use --no-novel-juncs or --transcriptome-only and what is the difference between the two?

    For me it seems that whichever options I choose, TopHat still tries to map reads to genome (if they do not map to transcriptome). See below the log file from a run with --transcriptome-only option.

    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...
