  • RNA-seq alignment on novel region

    Hi everyone,
    My colleagues just discovered a novel lncRNA region and I would like to check its expression in my 30 RNA-seq samples. The length of this region is 2438bp with two transcript variants, which are 645bp and 553bp (strand information is not available), respectively. I used STAR to perform the alignment on this region and bedtools multicov to count the expression on whole region and its two transcript variants. The procedure is shown below:

    STAR --runMode genomeGenerate --genomeDir ./lncRNA-genome --genomeFastaFiles ./lncRNA.fa --genomeSAindexNbases 10 ####I extracted the sequences of this region and made fasta file and built up STAR index, since the length is small, so I have to change the "genomeSAindexNbases"

    STAR --genomeDir ./lncRNA_genome --outSAMunmapped Within --runThreadN 4 --genomeLoad LoadAndRemove --limitBAMsortRAM 10000000002 --outSAMtype BAM SortedByCoordinate --outFileNamePrefix sample1 --readFilesIn sample1.fastq ######STAR alignment only to this region

    samtools index sample1.sorted.bam####index bam

    bedtools multicov -bams sample1.sorted.bam -bed ./lncRNA.bed > results.txt#####bedtools to count expression on whole region and two variants

    After counting the expression, I would like to use rpm (reads per million) to compare the expression for the whole region and two transcript variants among my 30 RNA-seq samples, respectively.

    So I would like to know is there anything that I miss or have to pay attention to or you guys have some suggestions? Thanks!!
