  • Bowtie and Human transcripts

    Hallo Bowtie user,

    I have a dateset with all transcripts from human genome. On the other side I have a set of RNA-seq reads (mate pairs/Illumina).
    I would like to map these reads against the transcripts. .

    I was thinking of using bowtie to accomplish this task, but I am not
    very sure about which options or flags I should use. I thought, I have to map my reads using the bowtie option -norc. I have already tried this,
    but I am not sure, if It is the rigth one.
    Do you think, that these are the wrigth options to run bowtie for this task?
    Thanks in advance
    Mary

    Check out tophat, that uses bowtie for rna seq reads. Maybe you can find the flags and parameters for bowtie from tophat manual

      I second that. Take a look at TopHat.

      Thanks,

        Thanks for the answers.
        The problem is that I dont want to map my reads against the whole genome,but I want to map them only against the transcript sequences (which contain already both sense and antisense transcripts). So I have already have the splice junctions in my transripts.
        But I am not sure, if I should allow the bowtie to reverse my transcript sequences or not and how to handle the mate-pairs?
        Thanks

          Hi Merfer,

          I am also in your situation I want to quantify the gene expression. How to do that? Where did you get the human genome transcripts? please suggest me.

          Thanks in advance,

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
