I am also looking forward to seeing some advice on this because I think using '-g 1' in Tophat might be too conservative. -
Tophat - reporting only best hit given multi-reads/multi-maps.
Hello,
Maybe someone has an answer regarding the issue of multi-reads/multi-maps with Tophat.
With Bowtie, parameters can be set such that it only reports alignments in the specified stratum range using '-m'. Along with --best-strata I can force Bowtie to report only the best alignment and only if there is only one "best" alignment. (-m1 --best--strata)
My question is, how can I force Tophat to perform similar behavior? As far as I can tell there is no way to force Tophat to invoke Bowtie with --best-strata options...
I can get around this by running Bowtie alone before then using Tophat to map the remaining unmapped reads i suppose..
Tophat would then identify junction spanning reads, but as far as I can see it is only possible to prevent reporting of alignments when a read has more than x valid alignments- via the '-g' param.
Essentially, when a read maps to more than one location given a certain mismatch threshold, I wish to report the best alignment but only if the best alignment score is unique. This is a way to allocate reads given multi-maps.
Any thoughts?

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

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
