  • TopHat extremely low paired mapping rate. PLS HELP!

    Hey guys, I have some problems with my paried-end RNA seq analysis on Galaxy. As you can see in the bam flagstat output, my tophat alignment rate is very low.

    15620641 + 0 in total (QC-passed reads + QC-failed reads)
    0 + 0 duplicates
    15620641 + 0 mapped (100.00%:-nan%)
    15620641 + 0 paired in sequencing
    7109757 + 0 read1
    8510884 + 0 read2
    503768 + 0 properly paired (3.23%:-nan%)
    2938970 + 0 with itself and mate mapped
    12681671 + 0 singletons (81.19%:-nan%)
    0 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr
    0 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>=5)

    So this is Hiseq 100X100 PE run on mouse samples. I QC'ed by fastq using quality trimmer (>=30) and masker (>=20) and they look fairly good. I estimated the inner distance of mate paris to be 250+-200, based on a Bowtie alignment. All other parameters were kept as default.

    Can anyone tell me why they pair so badly? Could it be adaptor contamination?

    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...
