I have uploaded the CSHL Long RNA-seq fastq dataset from the UCSC genome browser to galaxy and attempted to map the reads using bowtie, bwa and tophat. None of them are able to align more than a super small fraction of the reads. I have used each of these programs to align exactly the same types fastq data before, and it has worked perfectly. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be?

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
