  • Bowtie reference genome file

    Hello,

    I have a bunch of RNA-Seq files (single-end runs) to be aligned to a reference genome. I plan to do that by Bowtie2. However, I see that there are 3 different assembly files - softmasked.fa, hardmasked.fa and the .fa file with no description. I wonder if someone could tell me which one to go for?

    And whether if there will be differences in the final differential expression analysis based on the choice of assembly files.

    Appreciate your help and time.

    -Alan

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    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...
