I just noticed that the read quality field in the SAM file (output from tophat pipeline) is zero 75% of the times.. I read that 0 means poor quality read.
Does this mean the data is bad? Should I filter all reads with quality score 0 from the SAM file? because I am not sure if the results on differential expression analysis are reliable anymore.
thanks.
