Does TopHat have a switch to work on output from Bowtie2? This would be useful for flexibility in modular pipeline/batching, and also in view of apparent issues in dealing with multiple hits (not sure of the current status on that). On a related note, it appears TopHat calls bowtie once, but are there instances where it might call it multiple times?

Hmm, the junction finding step probably prevents any simple bowtie > tophat modularity here. -
You want to run a mapping program on the output of another mapping program ? It makes no sense.Comment

Run tophat2 using the -b flag to specify how bowtie2 runs under it. Read the *tophat2* manual.Comment

Thanks for the replies. It seems there are two places one can pre-compute:
1) bowtie2 to index the reference genome (of course)
2) tophat -G to index the transcriptome
I.e. indices can be pre-computed, which minimizes calls to bowtie2, overhead if the tophat algorithm changes and legacy experiments are re-run, etc., as long as one is happy with the reference genome and transcriptome, of course.Comment

The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...11-06-2024, 07:24 PM -
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...10-18-2024, 07:11 AM
