  • Can I get read counts by doing this???

    I want to quantify the reads I have from several .bam files from Tophat.

    I used two different annotations(one at a time):
    1: CuffMerge generated GTF file;
    2: UCSC genome annotation
    I made a transcript data base by using Bioconductor package "GenomicFeature" function "makeTranscitpDbFromGFF" or "makeTranscitpDbFromUCSC"

    Then I make a object that store the exon or transcripts information, by using Rsamtools package function "exonsBy" or "transcriptsBy"

    Then I do the overlap between my .bam file and the previous object ("countOverlaps")

    Anyone see any problems by doing what I did?

    I took this as a reference:

    Please let me know what could go wrong with this~

    Thanks a lot!

    Be careful using countOverlaps:

    Code:
    library(IRanges)
    subject <- IRanges(c(1, 4, 9), c(5, 7, 10))
    query <- IRanges(c(2, 2, 10), c(2, 3, 12))
    #If this were RNAseq data, the output should be 0 0 1
    countOverlaps(query, subject)
    You'll see that the counts would be wrong for RNAseq data. You might just use featureCounts or htseq-counts.

      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...
