Any programs for analyzing solexa transcriptome (alternative splicing) ?

Do you have a reference transcriptome?Originally posted by baohua100 View Post
If so, does it contain alternatively spliced sequences? -
we have reference transcriptome 。 but one gene one transcript sequence
there are no alternative splicing informationComment

I wonder if Solexa reads, say 50bp can identify alternative splicing when you don't have a reference genome. How can we tell the alignment software to map the reads so we can find splice variant?
Alternative splicing has been reported using 454 reads. The longer reads is probably an advantage. Anyone has done similar work using Solexa reads?Comment

Tophat does a really nice job mapping splice junctions without a set of known splice sites. It works very well with short Solexa reads, though I presume it requires a certain degree of read depth.Comment

i have reads.fq (5 000 000 reads RNA-seq) genome.fa
when i use bowtie align the reads, it aligns 4 200 000 reads.
but when i use tophat align the reads, the output file accepted_hits.sam only contains 1 900 000 reads. junctions.bed file is blank.Comment

Gmorse from the french genoscope (PMID: 19087247). It works with short reads and does not require any reference transcriptome, as explained here. Maybe limited for very complex and dense transcriptomes though (human/mouse/etc).Originally posted by baohua100 View Post
With a reference transcriptome, if you want to assign a quantity to each splicing variant I only know about this flux capacitor. Maybe not fully stable yet. I'm sure a lot of similar projects are in progress.
(Disclaimer: I personally know these people, they are friends of mine -but don't worry, contrary to me they still work in academic research).
Much more is expected to come from the RGASP project. I'd suggest to keep an eye on this.
Then, there are commercial products that claim to address "alternative splicing", but I am curious about what they really do...

Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...03-21-2023, 01:49 PM -
Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...03-10-2023, 05:31 AM
