  • Mapping to transcriptome with Bowtie2-beta5

    Hey guys,
    I wanted to map by brand new paired-end RNA-seq data to the mouse transcriptome using the current beta (b5) of Bowtie2.
    As I could not find any pre-build index for this, I build it myself using bowtie2-build to make an index of ensemble transcript information.
    The three mouse-fasta-files for this were downloaded from the ensemble ftp site . I wanted to get as much information as possible so I included cDNA-all, cDNA-abinitio and ncRNA fasta files for indexing.
    Then, I mapped the paired-end RNA-seq data to this index using the following command:
    ./bowtie2 -p 4 -t --local -x mouse_transcriptome_ensembl-NCBI37_ncRNA_cDNAall_abinitiopredictons -1 <matepair1.fastq> -2 <matepair2.fastq> -S output.sam
    So far so good, it all worked well with overall alignment rates of 80-90%.
    Now, when I want to import the data to SeqMonk, after reading all the lines it tells me that it "Couldn't extract valid name for <ensemble-tanscript-ID/Genscen-ID>" and leaves me with no reads at all... This is probably because there is no chromosome information or not in the expected position?

    From what I could find out, the ensemble-fasta-files also contain some "supercontigs" that do not have chromosome information but an NT-xxxx ID.
    But still, then there should be reads with the correct annotation, right?

    So what went wrong with my workflow here, and can I still rescue the SAM-files that I now produced?

    btw: the SAM file header looks like this:
    @HD VN:1.0 SO:unsorted
    @SQ SN:GENSCAN00000015589 LN:298
    @SQ SN:GENSCAN00000001573 LN:74
    @SQ SN:GENSCAN00000001572 LN:260
    @SQ SN:GENSCAN00000026402 LN:489
    ...
    @SQ SN:ENSMUST00000146092 LN:216
    @SQ SN:ENSMUST00000120435 LN:630
    @SQ SN:ENSMUST00000118023 LN:1647
    ...almost endlessly...
    and then the alignment comes, which looks like this:
    HWI-ST933:54:C01BFACXX:3:1101:10433:5230 99 ENSMUST00000082408 34 99M = 76 169 CGAAAATCTATTTGCCTCATTCATTACCCCAACAATAATAGGATTCCCAATCGTTGTAGCCATCATTATATTTCCTTCAATCCTATTCCCATCCTCAAA CCCFFFFFHHHHHJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJIJJJJJIJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJAHHHHHFFFFFFEEEDEEDDDDDD AS:i:198 XS:i:98 XN:i:0 XM:i:0 XO:i:0 XG:i:0 NM:i:0 MD:Z:99YS:i:198 YT:Z:CP

    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...
