    Too much "no feature" counts??

    Hello,
    I’m having some issues analysing RNASeq data on Chipster. I have single-end rna samples (brain) sequenced on a illumina NextSeq platform from rattus norvergicus.
    When i run the TopHat (Rattus6.0.83/fr-firststrand/20 hits allowed per read/…) i obtain:

    Reads:
    Input : 29084606
    Mapped : 27577865 (94.8% of input)
    of these: 1284892 ( 4.7%) have multiple alignments (17957 have>20)
    94.8% overall read mapping rate.

    When running the HTSeq (Rattus6.0.83/"reverse"/no paired end/chromosome names in the BAM "1"/ union / exon / gene_id) for counting the reads per gene i found a lot of no_feature reads.

    __no_feature 7413760
    __ambiguous 111934
    __too_low_aQual 0
    __not_aligned 0
    __alignment_not_unique 4203664

    Is it normal?

    Then in the differential expression using the DESeq2 i get extremely few or even no significant padj values. Only get 12 signicant padj values even compairing MALES VH and FEMALES VH which seems quite shocking to us.
    I’m i doing something wrong?
    Thank you very much in advance for the help.

    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.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
