  • Tophat chromosome position greater than chromosome size

    I use tophat to map the rna-seq reads (paired-end). It seems that some of the reads in the .sam do not make sense. Please see some examples below:

    Example line 1:
    NB500923:20:H7WCJBGXX:1:12109:13961:14748 385 chr1 11646 3 151M chr22 114359002 0 CTTTTGGATTTTTGCCAGTCTAACAGGTGAAGCCCTGGAGATTCTTATTAGTGATTTGGGCTGGGGCCTGGCCATGTGTATTTTTTTAAATTTCCACTGATGATTTTGCTGCATGGCCGGTGTTGAGAATGACTGCGCAAATTTGCCGGAT AAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE<EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE/AEEEEEEEEAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAEA/EAA<EEEEEEAEA/<AEE XA:i:0 MD:Z:151 NM:i:0 NH:i:2 CC:Z:chr15 CP:i:102519374 HI:i:0

    In the above line, it says the start position of the mate on chr22 is 114359002, however, the size of the chr22 is only 51304566

    Example line 2:
    NB500923:20:H7WCJBGXX:1:23107:14442:20318 323 chr1 11696 0 151M chrUn_GL000249 155257832 0 GTGATTTGGGCTGGGGCCTGGCCATGTGTATTTTTTTAAATTTCCACTGATGATTTTGCTGCATGGCCGGTGTTGAGAATGACTGTGCAAATTTGCCGGATTTCCTTCGCTGTTCCTGCATGTAGTTTAAACGAGATTGCCAGCACCGGGT AAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAEEEEEEEEEEEEEAEEEEEAEEEEEEE<EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAEEA<EEEEEE XA:i:2 MD:Z:85C21T43 NM:i:2 NH:i:8 CC:Z:= CP:i:11696 HI:i:4

    It says the start position of the mate on chrUn_GL000249 is 155257832, however, the total size of chrUn_GL000249 is only 38502.

    Can anyone tell how this could happen? and how to fix the file?

    Thanks,

      Looks like this is a bug in the version of tophat2 that you're using. If you're using the most recent version, then please report this to the authors so they can fix it.

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

        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...
