    >90% aligned concordantly 0 times ChIP-seq Bowtie2

    Hi,

    I know this question have raised many times here and in other forums but I've tried everything other people suggested in previous posts and still can't figure it out where is the problem...... This is the output summary of Bowtie2 (I checked several times the target genome, hg19 and it's correct):

    21404130 reads; of these:
    21404130 (100.00%) were paired; of these:

    21196512 (99.03%) aligned concordantly 0 times
    104527 (0.49%) aligned concordantly exactly 1 time
    103091 (0.48%) aligned concordantly >1 times
    ----
    21196512 pairs aligned 0 times concordantly or discordantly; of these: 42393024 mates make up the pairs; of these:

    906397 (2.14%) aligned 0 times
    28296440 (66.75%) aligned exactly 1 time
    13190187 (31.11%) aligned >1 times
    97.88% overall alignment rate

    I have paired-end ChIP-seq data, 50 bp reads. These are my steps (in Galaxy):

    1) I groomed the fastq files to get fastqsanger (I checked if it's correct: Input FASTQ quality scores type --> Sanger & Illumina 1.8+)

    2) FastQC is ok for all samples, some adapter contamination.

    3) I trimmed using either TrimGalore or Trimmomatic (I get the same result using both) using forward and reverse files for each sample. I checked and I didn't missed up the forward and reverse samples (I run Bowtie2 using first file 1 and file 2 and also using first file 2 and second file 1 and I get the same result...)

    4) I mapped the trimmed files to hg19 genome using Bowtie2 with option -fr and I get the result shown above. No matter what I try, I always get the same with the different samples that I have. All of them have around 32% of reads with adapters which I trimmed. I have no idea what to do with this.

    Any suggestions or idea of where is the mistake? Am I missing something?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
