    Error when calling fusion junctions with MapSplice

    We want to compare the results of different tools that call splice junctions using RNA-seq data.

    Now, I try to call fusion junctions with MapSplice (1.15.2).

    My input reads are 100nt in length and in fastq format.

    Example:

    Code:
    @xxxyyyzzz
    AGATGCACTACCACCCAGCCTATCAGGACAGGCCAAGCCTGAGGACAGTGACTGTCACAGAAAAATAGAAACTTGTGGTTCCAGGAAATCCGAGAGGTCT
    +
    IIHIHIHHIHHIHHGHHFGIGHGGGGIIIHHNKIJKIJELHCJFFGLIMLHLGLIAHBIEGFFDJQDAE>HIJHOIMLHAHGGHMPGHIFEJMDVJBEOM
    I'm calling Mapsplice as follows (basically copy and pasted from the MapSpliceManual, just added the --fusion parameter):

    Code:
    python mapsplice_segments.py -u reads.fq -c [somewhere]/genome/hg19/singleChroms/ -B [somewhere]/genome/bowtie/hg19 -Q fq -X 5 -L 25 --fusion
    MapSplice quits with an error:

    Code:
    [Thu Oct 25 11:24:45 2012] Checking for chromosomes files or directory
    [Thu Oct 25 11:24:45 2012] Checking for chromosomes files or directory passed

    error: open bwtmap file mapsplice_out/tmp/unspliced_mapped_segments.sorted error
            [FAILED]
    Error: mapsplice_report failed
    The file mapspliceout/tmp/unsplicedmapped_segments.sorted exists and is not empty.
    When I turn of the --fusion parameter, MapSplice finishes with no errors.

    Has anyone an idea, where the problem might be?

    I also tried to contact the developer directly (10/25/2012:[email protected]). They haven't answered yet.

      Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
      by SEQadmin2



      CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

      Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

      The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
