  • TopHat BowTie -n mode

    Someone must have already asked this question before but I couldn't find any straight answer so posting it again (sorry for the redundancy).
    If I want to run TopHat on longer reads (say >75 bps from Illumina) I'll definitely need to allow more mismatches in the alignment. I can adjust it using "--initial-read-mismatches" and "--segment-mismatches" option.
    Is there any upper limit on the number of mismatches that TopHat can accept?

    If I want TopHat to run BowTie in -n mode, how do I change seed mismatches (-n), seed length (-l) and -e values?

    --initial-read-mismatches and --segment-mismatches are the two values passed to "bowtie -n" or "bowtie -v" at different Bowtie searches in the TopHat pipeline. I'm not sure you can control the -l or -e Bowtie values from the TopHat command line and so you'll probably have to edit the tophat python code to do it.

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
