  • 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

    How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
    by seqadmin



    Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...

    Methods for Investigating the Transcriptome
    by seqadmin




    Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
