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?

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
