  • >90% aligned concordantly 0 times ChIP-seq Bowtie2

    Hi,

    I know this question have raised many times here and in other forums but I've tried everything other people suggested in previous posts and still can't figure it out where is the problem...... This is the output summary of Bowtie2 (I checked several times the target genome, hg19 and it's correct):

    21404130 reads; of these:
    21404130 (100.00%) were paired; of these:

    21196512 (99.03%) aligned concordantly 0 times
    104527 (0.49%) aligned concordantly exactly 1 time
    103091 (0.48%) aligned concordantly >1 times
    ----
    21196512 pairs aligned 0 times concordantly or discordantly; of these: 42393024 mates make up the pairs; of these:

    906397 (2.14%) aligned 0 times
    28296440 (66.75%) aligned exactly 1 time
    13190187 (31.11%) aligned >1 times
    97.88% overall alignment rate

    I have paired-end ChIP-seq data, 50 bp reads. These are my steps (in Galaxy):

    1) I groomed the fastq files to get fastqsanger (I checked if it's correct: Input FASTQ quality scores type --> Sanger & Illumina 1.8+)

    2) FastQC is ok for all samples, some adapter contamination.

    3) I trimmed using either TrimGalore or Trimmomatic (I get the same result using both) using forward and reverse files for each sample. I checked and I didn't missed up the forward and reverse samples (I run Bowtie2 using first file 1 and file 2 and also using first file 2 and second file 1 and I get the same result...)

    4) I mapped the trimmed files to hg19 genome using Bowtie2 with option -fr and I get the result shown above. No matter what I try, I always get the same with the different samples that I have. All of them have around 32% of reads with adapters which I trimmed. I have no idea what to do with this.

    Any suggestions or idea of where is the mistake? Am I missing something?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin


    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 on Modified Bases...

    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...
