    MapSplice2 Problem

    Dear all,
    The last two months I have been fighting with MapSplice2.
    First, we had troubles building the index, but this we fixed. But now, it throws an error regarding the fastqs.

    python MapSplice-v2.2.0/mapsplice.py -c human/ensembl/bowtie_index/fasta -x bowtie_index/built_bowtie_index -1 <(zcat R1.fastq.gz) -2 <(zcat R2.fastq.gz) -p 3 -o output

    I do not understand what the problem is. The files work fine with other fusion gene finding tools.

    Thanks for any help!

    Have you compared the two files to ensure that the reads are in order? Has the data been trimmed and if so with what trimmer?

    I also noticed that the fastq header in the snippet above does not follow current illumina fastq header convention: @HS12_346:7:1101:1516:1746/2 2:N:0:TCGGCA It appears to be a mix of two formats.

      Application of sequencing to RNA analysis (RNA-Seq, whole transcriptome, SAGE, expression analysis, novel organism mining, splice variants)

      It was this the problem!
      I have TCGA data that is why!
      Again, thanks, because there you also helped

        Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
        by SEQadmin2


        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

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
