  • tophat-bowtie building index

    ##########
    TopHat also requires a fasta file (.fa) for your reference. If this file is not found alongside the other index files, the program will use the Bowtie index you give it to build this file and save it to the output directory. This step can take up to an hour for a human-sized genome. To skip this step in future runs, you can move the fasta file from the tophat_out directory to the directory containing the Bowtie index files.

    I downloaded hg18 zip file and unzipped it as per instruct..
    After running make_hg18.sh script all I can see is the following list (ch1. fa to chrY.fa and other .ebwt files) but I couldn't see any human.fa reference file in ./tophat_out folder.

    Do i need to merge all individual .fa files into a single file ???

    like
    cat chr1.fa chr2.fa......chry.fa >>human.fa ?????

    Yes that is how TopHat works, you need to merge all the files.

    You should call it "genome.fa"

    EDIT: also, if you did not merge them, TopHat will generate one using "bowtie-inspect" and save it in the tophat_out folder. If you did not see one, something went wrong.

      Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
      by seqadmin




      The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
