    mapping RNASeq w/ tophat: 3'UTR enrichment

    Hi

    I have 2 sets of Illumina rnaseq reads that were mapped using tophat.
    Each set of reads was prepped/sequenced by different labs
    1 set is recent (paired-end)
    1 set is old (35nt single end)

    Both mapped w/ tophat2; 1 w/ ~ default settings (paired -end reads), 1 w/ settings hopefully optimized for the organism (single-end reads).

    Accepted hits bam file converted to bigwig

    Both sets are showing bias toward 3'UTR. I am doubtful that both sets RNA were degraded (good labs). Any suggestions regarding read filtering, or mapping that we should look into?

    There's a related thread here:

    Application of sequencing to RNA analysis (RNA-Seq, whole transcriptome, SAGE, expression analysis, novel organism mining, splice variants)


    What were the RIN values for the samples? I'd never take it on faith that the RNA was good quality.

      Thanks for reply.
      I checked on RNA RIN's, and the samples had RINs between 7.2 and 8.5.

      I'll check on the thread supplied.

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2




        NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

        Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
