  • "not_aligment" from the output of HTseq-count

    What's the meaning of "not_alignment" from the output of HTseq-count? The manual says it is the "reads in the Sam/Bam file without alignment". Does this mean the reads that are not mapped to the reference? or anything else? Thanks!

    Yeah, these are just reads that didn't align. Whether the count for this is 0 or not will depend on the aligner that you're using (some don't put unaligned reads in the output SAM/BAM file, others do).

      Assuming that the file I used for input of HTseq-count includes the unaligned reads in the output BAM file, But the number of "no_alignment" reads doesn't match the number of reads not mapped to the reference. Any idea about this? Thanks!

        it should match. Maybe it's paired-end? (htseq-count counts read pairs, not reads)

          @flyingoyster: Try using the -o option to see what's going on in your case.

            @Simon Anders, Yes, My data is paired-end. If HTseq-count counts read pairs, not reads, that makes sense. Thanks a lot!
            @dpryan, I used Galaxy server, so not be able to choose options.

            If I want to calculate the number of reads within genes, is it right to substract the number of no_feature reads from the total number of mapped reads? Thanks!

              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...
