i did a mapping study using BOWTIE and TOPHAT for a sample read file:
1. The mapped statistics says:
number of genes in the mapping using bowtie: 47
number of repeat regions in the mapping using bowtie: 12
number of CDS regions in the mapping using bowtie: 42
while,
number of genes in the mapping using TOPHAT: 22
number of repeat regions in the mapping using TOPHAT: 6
number of CDS regions in the mapping using TOPHAT: 21
Why is this so. is there any relationship between these quantatities. i know that we use TOPHAT for mapping RNA-Seq data, but i did this for unmapped reads

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
