  • Very low TopHat aligment using public available dataset

    Probably I'm missing something very simple, but I'm quiet new on this and maybe you can help me to sort this out.

    I've downloaded a raw data from GEO (GSE70452, llumina Genome Analyzer (Mus musculus) -accordingly with the webpage information-) to analyse it but using a different pipeline than the authors did. After running FASTQC the data were trimmed using ea-utils. (See the images from before/after trimmed: , and then for the alignment I've decided tu use TopHat2 running the next command

    Code:
    nohup tophat -G ~/Genomes/GRCm38primary/GRCm38.gtf -p7 -o .  ~/Genomes/GRCm38primary/GRCm38 SRR2084761Q10.fastq
    Unfortunately as an output I'm getting a very low alignment, marking the summary the next issues:

    Reads:
    Input : 95433050
    Mapped : 1762944 ( 1.8% of input)
    of these: 150943 ( 8.6%) have multiple alignments (3496 have >20)
    1.8% overall read mapping rate.



    Also, this information came out during the alignment:

    [2018-11-28 16:44:56] A summary of the alignment counts can be found in ./align_summary.txt
    [2018-11-28 16:44:57] Run complete: 1 days 22:31:16 elapsed

    Any thoughts? I've read that many people suggest possible samples contamination when this happen, but don't think so because at the end this data was analysed and published.

    Thanks in advance

    At this point there is no reason to use TopHat for RNAseq analysis. There are current options like STAR, BBMap, HISAT2 which should be used.

      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...
