We are analyzing illumina 75bp paired-end RNA-seq data. For mapping, what are the key differences between TopHat and Illumina's eland-CASAVA pipeline for RNA-seq data?

i would appreciate if someone could give an appropriate answer!
Thanks in advance! -
I heard from a talk given by Illumina, casava is good for reads length <= 50.Comment

The Illumina pipeline will only look for known splice junctions, while TopHat can (at least in theory) find novel splice junctions.Comment

Thanks for highlighting that difference.
One other difference could be the no. of basepairs that the algorithm expects as the 'seed' in order to generate accurate alignments. For illumina-eland, I know it is 32bp, but not sure what seed length does TopHat expect.Comment

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM -
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...09-09-2024, 10:59 AM
