    Reads Count - HTSeq alternative?

    Hi all,

    I am trying to analyze the differences in expression levels of genes using RNA-seq. So far, I've aligned the reads to a bacteria reference genome using bowtie2. To summarize reads, I am using HTSeq-count with the aligned reads in sam format as input as well as an annotated object in GFF3 format from NCBI. But, I am facing problems using HTSeq since it seems to be having issues with the GFF3 format that I am using. It complains that gene_id could not be found. After writing a script to convert the GFF3 format to GTF, I get a different error - "Warning: Skipping read 'SNPSTER7_0752:6:120:19747:20850#0/1', because chromosome 'NC_011898.1', to which it has been aligned, did not appear in the GFF file." This happens to every read in my sam file. As a result, I am just wondering if there seems to be another tool that would allow me to perform a similar task as HTSeq-count?

    Thank you!

    Why don't you just use the appropriate "-i" option? That would seem to be much simpler.

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

      Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
      by SEQadmin2



      Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

      There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

      Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
