Does bowtie recognize only T and not U? When I used RNA database none of my reads mapped to it, but when changed U to T then they mapped. am I missing something? thanks.

You may have missed reading the manual (highly advised).Originally posted by polsum View Post
Alignments involving one or more ambiguous reference characters (N, -, R, Y, etc.) are considered invalid by Bowtie. This is true only for ambiguous characters in the reference; alignments involving ambiguous characters in the read are legal, subject to the alignment policy. Ambiguous characters in the read mismatch all other characters. Alignments that "fall off" the reference sequence are not considered valid.

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.
The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM
