Hello, I did some tophat mapping and looking at the results, it seems that the strand of the junctions that tophat predicts are very much consistent (I would say 90-95% of the time I see it, the junction strand matches the gene strand) with the actual strands that the gene belongs to. I know that the rna-seq data I have is not stranded. Is there an expectation that the junction strands will match the gene's actual strand? Thanks.

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
