  • Counting and Recount reads with featureCotuns

    Hello everyone,

    I am using different tools for getting alignments and read count such as,
    salmon and STAR.
    Both of this tools have reads counted output that I could use directly into DESeq2 for DEG analysis.

    My question is, why some pipeline implys the use of featureCouts for counting the reads at the gene level from BAM files if this work have been already done by previous tools used to generate the same BAM?

    Maybe I'm missing something ...

    Thank you for clarifying

    Not sure what exactly you are asking. One feeds featureCounts with files that are already aligned. featureCounts only does counting.

    Note: featureCounts is part of a larger package called "subread". subread is an aligner that can be used to create BAM files by alignment.

      Hi GenoMax,

      I performed an alignment with STAR and I have serveal output files.

      One output is this:

      Sample1ReadsPerGene.out

      The counting of the reads is already done by STAR, so why I should use featureCounts to count again the reads using the BAM file from STAR if the counting is already done?

      I hope I'm clear

      thank you

        ok maybe I got it,
        if someone wants to choose featureCounts does it otherwise can use the output file.tab of STAR

          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...
