  • htseq-count: reads with letter "N"

    Hi,
    I've just found that a read starting with letter "N" in my sam file was marked as "no_feature" by htseq-count. I hacked that read by changing the "N" to the reference letter and also modifying the affected fields such as FLAG and MD, and got htseq-count worked with that read. My question is: does htseq-count discard any reads with "N"s in anywhere, or just those starting with "N"s? It looks like that in that read all other letters of the sequence were same with the reference, so I would rather keep that read.
    I raised this question because by using FastQC I've found that many of my reads have "N"s in their tails (3'?). Will htseq-count output better counts if I trim those tails?

    Thanks,
    Sylvia

    Please ignore my initial post. The real reason why my read is not mapped is not the "N", it's because in the FLAG field it's marked as "0x10 SEQ being reverse complemented". When I change this single bit to 0, the read got counted. Does any body have any idea?

      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...
