    No Splice Junctions Found with Galaxy TopHat Alignment?

    Hello All,

    I am having trouble with illumina paired-end 25mer reads and TopHat. The fragment length range was 400-600bp, so there should be mate pairs mapping to different exons. I have used the Galaxy installation of TopHat on the main page. Mate Pair files were generated using the Galaxy grooming and splitting tool. Do each of the read IDs within the split files need a _1 and an _2? The mate pairs are in the same order in each file.

    I specified the Mean Inner Distance b/w Mate Pairs as 450 with a Std Dev of 58, Min intron length 70, Max intron length 500000, Min length of read segments 25, NOT using own Junctions.

    Output files show 24mil accepted hits, but all show a CIGAR value of 25M, and the splice junction file is empty. Additionally, Cuffcompare to Hg18 Refgene using the Accepted hits file shows no muliti-exon transcripts.

    Thanks in advance,

    Erick

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
