    Raw counts - FeatureCounts (Rsubread), HT Seq and BEdtools

    Dear All,
    I would really appreciate some help.
    I have a aligned BAM file which is sorted. This file was obtained from paired end sequencing. I am trying to find the raw counts which fall in the regions mentioned in the GTF.

    The GTF is below:
    *********************************
    1dh10b ena exon 12163 14079 . + . gene_id "ECDH10B_0014"; transcript_id "ACB01219"; exon_number "1"; gene_name "dnaK"; gene_source "ena"; gene_biotype "protein_coding"; transcript_name "dnaK-1"; transcript_source "ena"; transcript_biotype "protein_coding"; exon_id "ACB01219-1";
    1dh10b ena exon 4040647 4043550 . + . gene_id "ECDH10B_3947"; transcript_id "ECDH10B_3947-1"; exon_number "1"; gene_name "rrlC"; gene_source "ena"; gene_biotype "rRNA"; transcript_name "rrlC"; transcript_source "ena"; transcript_biotype "rRNA"; exon_id "ECDH10B_3947-1";
    ***************************************

    When I ran Rsubreads in the paired end command and results mentioned below:

    *************
    The code for feature count:


    fc1<-featureCounts(files=c("R1.bam"),
    annot.ext="/data/tellis/analysis/genome/combined/dh10b_gfp_psb1c3_h3/test_part.gtf",
    isGTFAnnotationFile=TRUE,GTF.featureType="exon",
    isPairedEnd=TRUE)
    dge1 <- DGEList(counts=fc1$counts, genes=fc1$annotation)
    write.table(dge1$counts,file="/data/tellis/analysis/genome/combined/dh10b_gfp_psb1c3_h3/test_part_gtf_pe.txt",sep="\t")

    Result obtained:
    "R1.bam"
    "ECDH10B_0014" 6528
    "ECDH10B_3947" 255754

    When I run the above with single end mode i.e. isPairedEnd=FALSE, I get the following results:
    "R1.bam"
    "ECDH10B_0014" 12049
    "ECDH10B_3947" 440677

    I wanted to double check this with bedtools:
    bedtools coverage -a test_part.gtf -b R1.bam > cov_prt_gtf_bam.txt

    The counts I got were:
    ECDH10B_0014 12049
    ECDH10B_3947 4040647

    However, because bedtools results dont account for paired end the results were similar to feature counts in single end mode.

    But when I ran HTseq command as below
    htseq-count -f bam -s no R1.bam test_part.gtf > htseq_test_part_gtf.txt
    Results
    ECDH10B_3947 0
    ECDH10B_0014 6509

    When I checked on the IGV browser for the location on where the gene ECDH10B_3947 is I could hardly find any reads but bedtools in single mode picked up counts similar to feature counts single mode. There were also almost half the counts in feature counts in paired end mode. But the HT seq counts were zero and on IGV also there were no reads. ITs strange that for ECDH10B_0014 gene the counts of HT seq was similar to feature count in paired end mode.

    Can someone please help? I wold be grateful.

    Thanks,
    Yaseen

    Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
    by SEQadmin2



    CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

    Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

    Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
    by SEQadmin2


    Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.
