  • 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

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
