    75% reads mapped, but 40% map to 'no feature'

    Hi,

    I have mRNA sequencing data, from low amount of cells using SMARTer kit and Illumina GA, 36 single end reads.

    I mapped them with gsnap to mouse mm10 genome and got count table with HTSeq. 75% of reads mapped to genome, but only 35% mapped to exons, while as much as 40% to 'no feature'.

    Before I was analysing similar data, also obtained from little amount of cells with SMARTer kit (but 75bp PE reads) and I was 85% reads mapped, while only 10% mapped to 'no feature'.

    Did anyone experience that? Where should I look for problems? Could it be DNA contamination of the sample? Or maybe problem lies somewhere in mapping?

    my commands were:
    gsnap -A sam -B 5 -t 10 -n 1 -Q --nofails –D /path/path/mouse -d mouse -s mouse sample.fq > sample.sam

    htseq-count sample.sam /path/path/Mus_musculus.GRCm38.70.gtf > sample.txt

    Thanks

    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
