  • Low tophat2 mapping of paired-end reads

    Hello. I'm trying to map paired-end reads on the reference scaffold using tophat2, but the percentage of mapped reads is almost 0%.

    Left reads: Input: 9526882
    Mapped: 224 ( 0.0% of input)
    of these: 22 ( 9.8%) have multiple alignments (0 have >20)

    Right reads: Input: 9526882
    Mapped: 230 ( 0.0% of input)
    of these: 18 ( 7.8%) have multiple alignments (0 have >20)

    0.0% overall read mapping rate.
    Aligned pairs: 111 of these: 5 ( 4.5%) have multiple alignments
    0.0% concordant pair alignment rate.

    I've tried to change tophat2 options (like intron length and inner distance) and to map unmapped reads on the same reference, but the result is always the same. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

    Some more information might be helpful here, like what your experiment is, what organism you're dealing with, sequencing platform, what the reference is, how you preprocessed the data, your command line, etc.

      Any time question arises about low mapping percentage the first thing to do is to grab a few random reads from the files and do a quick blast search to make sure you are dealing with the data you think you have.

        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...
