You need to only use reads whose mates map in unique sequence in the region of the genome next to your real gene.
If the duplicated region is very large, this just might not work.

Problem with alignment with pseudogenes
Hi All,
I am interested in discovering variants in a gene that has 4 pseudogenes on the same chromosome and 1 pseudogene on another chromosome. The sequence identity between the parent gene and the pseudogene ranges from 88% to 95%.
Currently we have paired-end reads and the aligned bam files for the chromosome that contains the gene. How do I avoid mapping the reads to pseudogenes?
Thanks!

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM
