Hi guys,
I have recently performed a ChIP-Seq experiment using the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform, 100 bp-paired end. When I aligned my paired end data to the genome using Bowtie, I get some unexpected results.
My Input library DNA looks like a perfect mononucleosome peak (~155 bp + 125 bp adapators) on the bioanalyzer. However, when I look at a histogram of my aligned reads, I get a distribution of reads that are around 155 bp but I also get a a HUGE peak around 110 bp. I don't see any peak around 110 bp in the library on the bioanalyzer.
Has anyone encountered such a thing or have any idea what might cause it? Possibly the clustering is extremely efficient for these ~110 bp sequences?
Thanks for your help.
