  • --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?

    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...
