The bioinformatic person is doing all that. She trimmed the adapters and tried aligning the reads to the genome using tophat. She got 40% alignment there. We tried blasting some of the unaligned reads and realized that something went wrong with the tophat run as some of them were aligning to chromosome M, chr 1, 4 etc. She will be doing the alignment again with STAR this time but to save on time she also ran the RSEM along side and got these low percentage alignments to transcriptome so I wanted to know if we are missing out on anything?

It would be helpful if you posted some basic quality metrics, such as you get from FastQC. There's not enough information to determine what the problem is or even if there is a problem.Comment

Ok. I have looked at the FastQC report of the samples and it looks fine to me. What kind of information should I give from FastQC report?Comment

The whole thing as PDF is good way to start. But particularly the quality histograms, anything that failed the tests, and anything related to mapping. And the stats from adapter trimming, the command lines you used for each program, the top hits and mapping rate you got from Blast... etc.Comment

I will have to ask my bioinformatician for the stats after adapter trimming. I will get back on this. Thanks for your time.Comment

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 -
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...09-09-2024, 10:59 AM
