I have the following problem: When I select the option --coverage-search in TopHat2, the junction file in the output directory is empty.
Using "--coverage-search" makes sense here, because I want to check for novel junctions in some old RNA-Seq data (36bp single-end and 38bp paired-end), so using segment-search is not a perfect option (splitting into 18bp segments will likely produce too many ambigous alignemnts).
The junction-files are empty both whith and without using a transcriptome annotation (human).
However, when I turn in the segmented search (by setting --segment-length to 18 or 19) together with --coverage-search, TopHat2 seems to return junctions from the coverage-search, because more junctions are returned using both options, than when only the segmented search is used.
The current TopHat-version installed on our cluster is "TopHat v2.0.8b"
Can anyone tell me whether this is a bug in TopHat2, or if I'm doing anything wrong?

At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...-

Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...-
