  • Very low TopHat aligment using public available dataset

    Probably I'm missing something very simple, but I'm quiet new on this and maybe you can help me to sort this out.

    I've downloaded a raw data from GEO (GSE70452, llumina Genome Analyzer (Mus musculus) -accordingly with the webpage information-) to analyse it but using a different pipeline than the authors did. After running FASTQC the data were trimmed using ea-utils. (See the images from before/after trimmed: , and then for the alignment I've decided tu use TopHat2 running the next command

    Code:
    nohup tophat -G ~/Genomes/GRCm38primary/GRCm38.gtf -p7 -o .  ~/Genomes/GRCm38primary/GRCm38 SRR2084761Q10.fastq
    Unfortunately as an output I'm getting a very low alignment, marking the summary the next issues:

    Reads:
    Input : 95433050
    Mapped : 1762944 ( 1.8% of input)
    of these: 150943 ( 8.6%) have multiple alignments (3496 have >20)
    1.8% overall read mapping rate.



    Also, this information came out during the alignment:

    [2018-11-28 16:44:56] A summary of the alignment counts can be found in ./align_summary.txt
    [2018-11-28 16:44:57] Run complete: 1 days 22:31:16 elapsed

    Any thoughts? I've read that many people suggest possible samples contamination when this happen, but don't think so because at the end this data was analysed and published.

    Thanks in advance

    At this point there is no reason to use TopHat for RNAseq analysis. There are current options like STAR, BBMap, HISAT2 which should be used.

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      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...
