So it is the amount of operations (substitution, insertion, delition) that I have to do, to change my 50bp read to my reference. But why do I have then reads mapped to my reference with partly more than 10 mismatches?

You are not able to get the raw data and recreate the result yourself? You could be spinning your wheels for a long while trying to find an explanation for their results.
Note: Reading the beginning of the thread seems to indicate you have the raw data but are your results not matching the alignments the company did?Last edited by GenoMax; 03-19-2015, 06:26 AM.

I have the raw data, but I am not working at the institut anymore... and at home with my old little labtop, not really. Iam writing my thesis and there you look sometime at things deeper, then you should have done it before. But maybe I should simply take it like it is. Its just the urge to understand it in detail. Thanks a lot for your patience!

I see the dilemma now. You could use the results provided by the company as is but then you may not be able to defend them if questioned during your defense.
Do you think the conclusion is going to differ if you were to do the analysis again? If you are sure the answer is no then you will have to make a decision.

Neugier ist der Katze Tod, or perhaps "Curiosity killed the PhD thesis" would be a better variant
But anyway, I agree with GenoMax. If their results look problematic at all then it's worthwhile to repeat the alignment simply so you know exactly how things were processed.

Thats the point, but hopefully they will not ask... The good thing is, even Iam not so deep to this whole RNA-seq thing, Iam deeper then the others... so I just need a good explanation which they swollow.
Doing it again is no option. The only option I have is to terrorize the company, but customers service is not their strength and they explain me everytime that its too long ago, they are not able to look to the data... Which is incomprehensible for me.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
