  • Tool to take mapping to gene list

    Hello all,

    I am relatively new to NGS and have just mapped a series of reads to a genome using Bowtie2. As I understand, the SAM/BAM output contains the information telling me where the reads map to the genome. I now want to:

    a) transform this to a list of regions where reads map i.e., combine all the overlapping reads that map to one part of the genome into a starting position (bp), ending position (bp), and the number of reads that map to that region

    b) cross-reference that list of regions against the genome annotation to identify whether that collection of reads maps to an exon, intron, etc. and, if an exon, extract the relevant gene and transcript id

    I am sure there must be a tool for this - probably several! I am interested to know what people use? Any relative advantages/disadvantages, key tips or tricks, etc., would also be helpful.

    Thanks for your help.

    Regards,

    Jonathan

    I'm assuming this is RNA-seq data? Are you wanting simply a count of reads mapping to a feature?

    If so, then there are a variety of tools that can accomplish this. The two most commonly used are probably BEDtools and HTSeq-count.

      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...
