    Is this bisulfite sequencing stranded or not?

    This is my first time analyzing bisulfite sequencing. I've downloaded this ENCODE whole genome bisulfite sequencing data to analyze using Bismark. I can't find anywhere on that page where it clearly says whether it's stranded or not. I did a test alignment with one of the files (ENCFF001ZVL) of 1 million reads and these are the results:

    Default (strand-specific) alignment:

    Code:
    Final Alignment report
    ======================
    Sequences analysed in total:	1000000
    Number of alignments with a unique best hit from the different alignments:	786594
    Mapping efficiency:	78.7%
    
    Sequences with no alignments under any condition:	115586
    Sequences did not map uniquely:	97820
    Sequences which were discarded because genomic sequence could not be extracted:	0
    
    Number of sequences with unique best (first) alignment came from the bowtie output:
    CT/CT:	394999	((converted) top strand)
    CT/GA:	391595	((converted) bottom strand)
    GA/CT:	0	(complementary to (converted) top strand)
    GA/GA:	0	(complementary to (converted) bottom strand)
    
    Number of alignments to (merely theoretical) complementary strands being rejected in total:	0
    --non_directional (non-strand specific) alignment:

    Code:
    Final Alignment report
    ======================
    Sequences analysed in total:	1000000
    Number of alignments with a unique best hit from the different alignments:	785277
    Mapping efficiency:	78.5%
    
    Sequences with no alignments under any condition:	114820
    Sequences did not map uniquely:	99903
    Sequences which were discarded because genomic sequence could not be extracted:	0
    
    Number of sequences with unique best (first) alignment came from the bowtie output:
    CT/CT:	394212	((converted) top strand)
    CT/GA:	390840	((converted) bottom strand)
    GA/CT:	116	(complementary to (converted) top strand)
    GA/GA:	109	(complementary to (converted) bottom strand)

    You can go by those results and declare it to be strand-specific. In my experience, at least, that's more common than unstranded datasets too.

      The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

      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,...
