  • mapping RNASeq w/ tophat: 3'UTR enrichment

    Hi

    I have 2 sets of Illumina rnaseq reads that were mapped using tophat.
    Each set of reads was prepped/sequenced by different labs
    1 set is recent (paired-end)
    1 set is old (35nt single end)

    Both mapped w/ tophat2; 1 w/ ~ default settings (paired -end reads), 1 w/ settings hopefully optimized for the organism (single-end reads).

    Accepted hits bam file converted to bigwig

    Both sets are showing bias toward 3'UTR. I am doubtful that both sets RNA were degraded (good labs). Any suggestions regarding read filtering, or mapping that we should look into?

    There's a related thread here:

    Application of sequencing to RNA analysis (RNA-Seq, whole transcriptome, SAGE, expression analysis, novel organism mining, splice variants)


    What were the RIN values for the samples? I'd never take it on faith that the RNA was good quality.

      Thanks for reply.
      I checked on RNA RIN's, and the samples had RINs between 7.2 and 8.5.

      I'll check on the thread supplied.

        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...
