    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.

    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
