    Tophat/bowtie 2 errors with Illumina HiSeq

    Hi everyone,

    I have compiled all the neccesary software, indexed the genome but keep running into issues. I have made the anlaysis before but now I am in a new lab and nothing seems to work. I have three questions after many days of fighting with this.

    1) To double check - with Illumina HiSeq the library type in Tophat should be unstranded right? I am hoping it is machine dependent as the samples were prepared and sequenced abroad.

    2) Building of index for human genome (or have it done by tophat) from Ensembl toplevel fasta file seems fine and proceeds without errors. However whenever I try to use bowtie2-inspect on it I get this;

    bowtie2-inspect: bt2_inspect.cpp:218: void print_ref_sequences(std:stream&, bool, const EList<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, 128>&, const uint32_t*, const std::string&): Assertion `0' failed.

    Tried to find more details about this but with no luck. The annotation file from Ensembl created by tophat also does not pass this. Any ideas?

    3) Don't know if this is realted or not but every time I try to do the analysis I get this:

    I could download pre-made indexed files from Illumina but I want to know and understand what is wrong. I followed the protocol and everything should be fine.

    The comand I use is (simplified):

    tophat -p 8 -G /.../Annotation.gtf -o /../A1 --library-type=fr-unstranded /../HS_Gen /.../A1_R1.fastq.gz /.../A1_R2.fastq.gz

    Thanks guys for your help.

    The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
