    Tophat oddness

    I've been using tophat with some success until recently. I have one data set that seems to me to be the exact same as my other files, in the same format etc (I even changed the name lines to match the older files that I know work). When I run these files I do not get any errors I just get very very little aligning. Bowtie will align less then 1% of the reads so there is basically no islands for tophat and hence no junctions. With the really big files I might get a few thousand junctions but i don't think I should trust it given the situation. I would be happy to give anyone with any ideas more details, I am just not sure what would be useful.

    tophat -o/.../outfolder /home/.../genome /home/.../readfile

    Am I missing something obvious or is everyone else as baffled as me?

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
