  • How to create a GTF/GFF file for HTSeq OR how to count reads without GTF?

    I am working with RNAseq of an insect under different treatments. I already have the data (Illumina HiSeq paired-end reads) and I was planning to follow the protocol from Anders et al. (2013) to analyze it (I already did it in the past with a model organism). However, the genome of this insect was recently sequenced, so it still has no GTF file available. The only files available are: the genome.fasta and the CDS.fasta.

    So far, I mapped the reads on the genome using tophat (without providing a GTF file) which provided me bam/sam files. Now, I should count the reads per gene using HTSeq. However, the input for HTSeq is a GTF file that I dont have.

    How can I count reads per gene without a GTF file? Is it possible to use the genome and the CDS to create a GTF/GFF file for HTSeq?

    Any other idea on how to proceed would be helpful.
    Thank you so much!

    Hi Biol,
    If you want to analyze your data using the pipeline HTSeq->DESeq2, you will require GTF file, and in your case probably you can write a script to create one based upon the alignment of CDS.fasta to your genome.fasta.
    But if you are willing to use other pipeline, you can use TopHat->Cufflinks->Cuffmerge->Cuffdiff. Here, the reference annotation is not mandatory.

      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...
