  • --coverage-search in TopHat2 returns empty junction file

    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?

    Improved Targeted Sequencing: A Comprehensive Guide to Amplicon Sequencing
    by seqadmin



    Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...

    Targeted Sequencing: Choosing Between Hybridization Capture and Amplicon Sequencing
    by seqadmin




    Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...
