  • How to get the expression level of specific gene without annotation in RNA-Seq?

    I have one samples in fastq files from bovine (bovine_sample1.fastq). If I want to see whether a sequence (supposed named "GQ2") is expressed in bovine cells. (I have got the FASTA of this sequence) The sequence is unannotated in the current bovine genome, so might not have been tested in the analyses thus far.
    As we know , in RNA-Seq, the expression level is number of raw reads counts mapped to genome.so my solution is like this:

    My solution (2 steps):
    (1) generate the bowtie2 index of GQ2.

    >GQ2
    ATGGAGCACTTTCCCCGCTGTGTGCACGAGTCCTGGGGTTCCTCAAAGGA
    GCCCCAGAAAACAGAGGTGCTGCAACTCTTGAGCTTAGCGGACCCTGAGG
    .....
    mkdir GQ2Bowtie2Index
    cd GQ2Bowtie2Index
    bowtie2 GQ2.fa GQ2
    ls

    GQ2.1.bt2 GQ2.2.bt2 GQ2.3.bt2 GQ2.4.bt2 GQ2.fa GQ2.rev.1.bt2 GQ2.rev.2.bt2

    (2) map the reads file on to 'GQ2' genome

    bowtie2 --local --very-sensitive-local -p 8 -x ./GQ2Bowtie2Index/GQ2 -U bovine_sample1.fastq

    But when I did it, I got the error.
    After I ran the bowtie2, it goes to the endless loop (obviously it is error). If I terminate the bowtie2, I found the error.
    "bowtie2-align died with signal 2 (INT)"

    Could you please tell me:

    1. Is my solution correct? If it is not, do you have any solution?
    2. If mine is correct, why did I get the error? Do my command lines have the problem? ?

    This may be stupid, even if it is one gene, if you are aligning a transcript sequence, shouldn't you use tophat?

    I couldn't see an error in what you did.

      Hi I am sorry I didn't get your meaning clearly.
      Tophat need .gtf annotation files. I don't have gtf file of GQ2 gene.
      I only have FASTA sequence of GQ2.
      Could you give me your suggestion more detail?

        Starting files:
        gq2-sequence.fa
        transcripts.fa

        Build Genome Index:
        bowtie2-build gq2-sequence.fa gq2

        Align using tophat and built index:
        tophat2 --b2-very-senstive -p 8 gq2 transcripts.fa

          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...
