  • tophat's prep_reads gave different number of reads

    Hello there,

    I am confusing about the nubmber of reads prep_reads program game me in tophat run.

    for example, I counted my reads in fastq file by wc -l and devided it by 4,
    then I got 43744119.
    But after running tophat, i found out that the number of reads in
    prep_reads.info was different than original one.

    cat prep_reads.info
    left_min_read_len=12
    left_max_read_len=91
    left_reads_in =43661221
    left_reads_out=43388544
    right_min_read_len=12
    right_max_read_len=91
    right_reads_in =43661221
    right_reads_out=43434368


    why does it occur?? tophat does something before prep_reads and filtered out some reads ??

    FYI, there have been no discrepancy at least in tophat 1.3.2.
    I think this occurs after tophat2 ....

    I would appreciate any your help!!

    Dear Zun, we have the same issue, and we confirm it happens only since Tophat 2.0.0

      Dear giorgifm

      Thank you for your info
      OK then I have to be careful when calculating mapping rate...

        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...
