  • MEDIP-seq: low unique reads

    Hi everyone, I mapped my medip-seq on mouse liver genome single end data with Bowtie 2 and only 10% of reads map to the mouse genome once, so only 1 million reads are "unique". Large proportion of reads either didn't map (12-17%) or mapped more than once (~75%). Here are the statistics below. My questions are:

    1) What could have caused this? Is this a biological or technical artifact?
    2) Is this data set still good?
    3) Should I only use the unique reads for downstream analyses?
    I appreciate all your help!! Thank you.

    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...
