OK. I have rna-seq data from 3 mice. I want to align this data to the mouse reference -- either genome, which seems like overkill, or to all the known mRNAs from Acembly -- which I have in FASTA format.
The data came from 454 as FASTA (.fna) and .qual files.
I've also obtained the SFF files.
TopHat didn't seem to like the FASTQ files I generated from the FASTA and .qual files using BioPython's SeqIO functions.
There's a really big range of read lengths in this data, which also seems to make a lot of the tools (since they were engineered for Illumina GA output) unhappy.
Thoughts? Advice? I'm on a Mac Pro, but have 64-bit linux and Windows XP running via virtualization.
Thanks,
Anand
