Does TopHat have a switch to work on output from Bowtie2? This would be useful for flexibility in modular pipeline/batching, and also in view of apparent issues in dealing with multiple hits (not sure of the current status on that). On a related note, it appears TopHat calls bowtie once, but are there instances where it might call it multiple times?

Hmm, the junction finding step probably prevents any simple bowtie > tophat modularity here. -
You want to run a mapping program on the output of another mapping program ? It makes no sense.Comment

Run tophat2 using the -b flag to specify how bowtie2 runs under it. Read the *tophat2* manual.Comment

Thanks for the replies. It seems there are two places one can pre-compute:
1) bowtie2 to index the reference genome (of course)
2) tophat -G to index the transcriptome
I.e. indices can be pre-computed, which minimizes calls to bowtie2, overhead if the tophat algorithm changes and legacy experiments are re-run, etc., as long as one is happy with the reference genome and transcriptome, of course.Comment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
