  • RNA-seq assembly and reference genome

    Dear community,
    I have a question.
    I have an RNA-seq by Illumina pair ends. I have a reference genome and transcriptome. My question is if there is any software that I can use to map the RNA-seq reads on the reference transcriptome and retrieve the assembled transcriptome based on my sequences. I want this because my coverage is low and in this way I can use a known reference to get better information about my transcriptome too.

    Regards
    Luigi

    commercial software: CLC genome workbench. www.clcbio.com. It is quite expensive.

    There are many free software shared in this community. You'd better use "search" to get what you want.

      actually it is not that easy, there are many assemblers around but they mostly require a genome as reference and not a transcriptome. I also checked for assemblers where you can give a transcriptome of a near relative as reference but didn't found anything. :-(

      You maybe can "fake" the transcriptome as genome, but I don't know if this will work.

      If you want to use your genome as reference you could try cufflinks.

        I am using BWA to remap mRNAseq data to a reference transcriptome and samtools to call the consensus of the remapped transcriptome. I have also used CLC for this purpose, as suggested by harrike. I have not yet used paired-end data, but I believe both packages can handle paired-end data.

          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...
