  • tophat error "does not have a matching mate in the same order"

    Hey guys I'm getting this error with Tophat and I can't seem to figure out why, I'm using paired end reads from Illumina HiSeq. Any tips? I figured it might just be one read thats the problem so I removed it but then I got another one.

    Just removing that one read does not solve your problem
    the order of the paired reads is not the same.

    When you have two files representing your reads, many alignment programs expect each 'mate' to be found in the exact same order in each file. The error itself says so... As it already fails on the very first read, I expect all your mates to be out of order.


    Just write a small script that screens both your files at the same time to detect possible mate-errors. Perhaps think about making new mate files.

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
