  • RNA Seq counts on sorted data

    I am using htseq-count to get gene counts from paired-end illumina data. Alignment was done by tophat.

    When I used accepted_hits.bam after sorting the bam file with default option of sort by position

    samtools sort accepted_hits.bam accepted_hits_test &
    samtools view accepted_hits_test.bam | htseq-count --mode=intersection-nonempty - genes.gtf > genecounts1.txt

    I got warnings - 'Is SAM properly sorted?'. But I got gene counts.


    When I sorted BAM file with sort -n option and run htseq-count for gene counts, using the following commands, I didn't get any warnings except about the non-availability of information on Chr M in gtf file.

    samtools sort -n accepted_hits.bam accepted_hits_sortedN &
    samtools view accepted_hits_sortedN.bam | htseq-count --mode=intersection-nonempty - genes.gtf > genecounts2.txt


    Counts obtained in both the ways were different. Counts in genecounts1.txt are aproximately half to the counts obtained in genecounts2.txt. And, counts obtained form Cufflinks are matching with genecounts1.txt (sort by position)

    Which one should I rely on - genecounts1 ? or genecounts2 ?


    Thanks,
    Sandhya

    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...
