  • RNASeq de novo from TopHat unmapped.bam

    I ran a RNASeq pipeline for human skin samples using TopHat2 and hg19 as the reference genome and, because I wanted to find contaminants from other organisms, I used the reads contained in unmapped.bam as input (after convert them to fastq files) for de novo RNASeq with Trinity.

    I don't understand why some contigs generated by Trinity map with 100% identity in about 3000 bp alignment to ensembl transcripts.

    Why the reads from which that contigs were generated were in unmmaped.bam file produced by TopHat?

    Any idea?

    Hi,

    I read your post. I am also trying to construct a de novo assembly using unmapped.bam files from TopHat but I am getting errors. Did you sort your .bam reads before converting them to fastq? I know you did it long time ago but Can you please help me by sharing the steps?

      Hi Zunaira,

      you haven't stated the exact problems you see, but TopHat unmapped.bam files generally contain several errors that can impede processing.

      We published a software called TopHat-Recondition to fix these errors a while ago, please see the paper and the software.

      Let me know in case you have questions.

        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...
