  • tophat2 some parameters are not working (--no-novel-indels and -a)

    I used tophat2 to map reads with --no-novel-indels and -a 6 parameters. Once the mapping is done, I examined the result (accepted_hits.bam) and found some lines with indels or some lines whose anchor length < 6.

    There are a lot of lines like these. I am wondering if anyone else had the same problem as this or I did something wrong in running tophat.

    This is the command line I used to run tophat2

    tophat -o tophat_out -N 3 -r 30 --mate-std-dev 110 -a 6 -I 300000 -p 8 -g 20 --no-novel-indels --no-coverage-search hg19_index read_1.fastq read_2.fastq

    Thank you!

    I figured out -a 6 parameter issue. It does not ensure individual read to have at least x bps on each side of junction. Instead, it ensures that each junction to have at least one read that meet the anchor condition. If -a 6 is used, each junction must have reads that spans at least 6bps on each side of junction.

    I still do not know why --no-novel-indels does not work.

      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...
