    Can the sam files from Hisat2 used as input for HTseq?

    Hello, I am using Hisat2 for paired-end RNAseq, gene differential expression analysis. I am wondering can the sam files from Hisat2 directly used as input for HTseq, which I believe requires name sorted?

    If not, should I convert as below?

    hisat2 -x index -1 sample_R1.fastq -2 sample_R2.fastq -S sample.sam
    samtools view -bS sample.sam > sample.bam
    samtools sort -n sample.bam sample.sorted
    samtools view -h -o sample _sort.sam sample.sorted.bam
    htseq-count -m union -s no sample _sort.sam genes.gtf > sample _sort.readcount.txt

    This takes quite a long time though… Is there a faster way? Thanks so much!

    If you see "unsorted" in the sam header then you would need to sort the file. That said why don't you try featureCounts? It is faster and will sort the file (it does sort a BAM file and probably will sort SAM as well) as needed.

      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,...
