  • A few questions on Tophat

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first post. :-) I am a fresh user of Tophat and here I would like to ask you guys a few questions which confuse me a lot.
    I run Tophat 1.0.13 on my Illumina RNA-Seq data (75nt paired end, fly samples). I actually run Tophat without the option -g1 (called run1 below) and with -g1(called run2) respectively. I suppose that the uniquely mapped reads from run1 is the same set from run2. Thus I extract the mapped reads with the field "NH:i:1" from run1 and compared them with all the mapped reads from run2. However, I found that there are a lot more such reads in run1 that does not appear run2. So my question is:
    1) If I do not use "-g1", then how can I identify uniquely mapped reads? I guess my understanding that "NH:i:1" means "uniquely mapped" might not be correct.
    2)Then I run Tophat on 4 mouse samples, without or with "-g1". This time, I found that for two of the samples, in "accept_hits.sam", I did not find the field "NH", while I did find this field in another two.

    Hope I have addressed the questions clearly. Thank you all.:-)

    And in 2), my question is: how can I know when and which these optional fields will be contained in accpet_hits.sam? Thank you.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin


      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
