    Validation of a viral transcriptome assembly

    Hi,

    I used TopHat/Cufflinks for the virus transcriptome assembly and I just used raw reads without filtering. I have two questions.

    (1) Though the reference genome has 170 proteins, there are only 109 transcripts but seems much longer length in the transcripts.gtf file. Is it a bad assembly or how can I validate the assembly?

    (2) I am interested in several proteins in the specific region of the reference genome. I wonder how I can find these corresponding transcripts abundance in the files genes.fpkm_tracking or isoforms.fpkm_tracking?

    Thank you!
    Dawn

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    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...
