    TopHat2 - reads removed from the analysis?

    Hello
    We analyse Solid 5500 RNA seq reads. I used tophat2 for the alignment. We first performed the analysis ONLY on 2 chr in order to have a quick reply (that's why our number of reads aligned - see below - is very low)
    We noticed some reads were "missing" at the end of the pipeline and we're wondering why.

    These are .info files
    ::::::::::::::
    left_kept_reads.info
    ::::::::::::::
    min_read_len=50
    max_read_len=50
    reads_in =25357934
    reads_out=25319876
    ::::::::::::::
    right_kept_reads.info
    ::::::::::::::
    min_read_len=35
    max_read_len=35
    reads_in =25357934
    reads_out=25283245

    and samtools flagstat done on accepted_hits.bam

    1552361 + 0 in total (QC-passed reads + QC-failed reads)
    0 + 0 duplicates
    1552361 + 0 mapped (100.00%:-nan%)
    1552361 + 0 paired in sequencing
    769043 + 0 read1
    783318 + 0 read2
    549840 + 0 properly paired (35.42%:-nan%)
    661184 + 0 with itself and mate mapped
    891177 + 0 singletons (57.41%:-nan%)
    5522 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr
    5522 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>=5)

    and 15435015 reads are in the unmapped.bam files

    --> so that we've got 15.435.015 unmapped + 1.552.361 mapped ~ 17.000.000 reads have been analysed.
    --> we had 25.357.934 + 25.357.934 reads_in to analyse ~ 50.000.000 reads were available for the analysis.

    We're wondering where are the other reads. We expected summing the number of reads in accepted + unmapped bam files would lead to the number of reads_in but it's not the cas. If you have any explanation may I ask you to help us please?
    Thanks a lot for your time

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      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

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      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
