    TopHat alignment logs

    Dear all,

    Here is something I am confusing when I see the log file produced by TopHat:
    This is the TopHat.log:
    …….
    [2012-06-06 18:09:24] Preparing reads
    left reads: min. length=36, max. length=101, 91637851 kept reads (29218 discarded)
    [2012-06-06 19:03:03] Creating transcriptome data files..
    [2012-06-06 19:03:48] Building Bowtie index from genes.fa
    [2012-06-06 19:33:23] Mapping left_kept_reads to transcriptome genes with Bowtie2
    [2012-06-06 23:43:22] Converting left_kept_reads.m2g to genomic coordinates (map2gtf)
    [2012-06-07 00:41:00] Resuming TopHat pipeline with unmapped reads
    [2012-06-07 00:47:56] Mapping left_kept_reads.m2g_um to genome genome with Bowtie2
    [2012-06-07 05:40:29] Mapping left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg1 to genome genome with Bowtie2 (1/4)
    [2012-06-07 07:18:48] Mapping left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg2 to genome genome with Bowtie2 (2/4)
    [2012-06-07 09:29:44] Mapping left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg3 to genome genome with Bowtie2 (3/4)
    [2012-06-07 11:18:27] Mapping left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg4 to genome genome with Bowtie2 (4/4)
    ……

    And I also look at the 6 bowtie log files:
    bowtie.left_kept_reads.fixmap.log
    bowtie.left_kept_reads.m2g_um.fixmap.log
    bowtie.left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg1.fixmap.log
    bowtie.left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg2.fixmap.log
    bowtie.left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg3.fixmap.log
    bowtie.left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg4.fixmap.log

    There are the details:

    more logs/bowtie.left_kept_reads.fixmap.log
    91637851 reads; of these:
    91637851 (100.00%) were unpaired; of these:
    18520354 (20.21%) aligned 0 times
    23392329 (25.53%) aligned exactly 1 time
    49725168 (54.26%) aligned >1 times
    79.79% overall alignment rate

    more logs/bowtie.left_kept_reads.m2g_um.fixmap.log
    31718744 reads; of these:
    31718744 (100.00%) were unpaired; of these:
    4069491 (12.83%) aligned 0 times
    22890602 (72.17%) aligned exactly 1 time
    4758651 (15.00%) aligned >1 times
    87.17% overall alignment rate

    more logs/bowtie.left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg1.fixmap.log
    12545530 reads; of these:
    12545530 (100.00%) were unpaired; of these:
    10313519 (82.21%) aligned 0 times
    1421598 (11.33%) aligned exactly 1 time
    810413 (6.46%) aligned >1 times
    17.79% overall alignment rate

    more logs/bowtie.left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg2.fixmap.log
    12496456 reads; of these:
    12496456 (100.00%) were unpaired; of these:
    10103227 (80.85%) aligned 0 times
    1477840 (11.83%) aligned exactly 1 time
    915389 (7.33%) aligned >1 times
    19.15% overall alignment rate

    more logs/bowtie.left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg3.fixmap.log
    12092205 reads; of these:
    12092205 (100.00%) were unpaired; of these:
    10185446 (84.23%) aligned 0 times
    1143907 (9.46%) aligned exactly 1 time
    762852 (6.31%) aligned >1 times
    15.77% overall alignment rate

    more logs/bowtie.left_kept_reads.m2g_um_seg4.fixmap.log
    9205319 reads; of these:
    9205319 (100.00%) were unpaired; of these:
    8181576 (88.88%) aligned 0 times
    581085 (6.31%) aligned exactly 1 time
    442658 (4.81%) aligned >1 times
    11.12% overall alignment rate


    Now I am confusing the relationship with these numbers: 18520354, 31718744, 12545530, 12496456, 12092205 and 9205319. I did not see that the reads aligned 0 times in left_kept_reads equal the total reads of all the m2g_um alignment reads?
    Could you tell me how tophat do the alignment in detail: such as firstly aligning the exon; then aligning the unmapping reads to junction regions? But the number of reads mapping reads to junction regions do not equal to the reads of

    Hi,liueagle,
    I just run into the same problem, have you figure it out?
    Thanks!

    Best,
    Ellie

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
