Hi,
We use featureCounts a lot and firstly thanks to Dr. Shi and R. Liao for a great tool.
I had a question about featureCounts output, specifically the order of the reads in the output file. So, I ran featureCounts on a bam file against a given GTF, with two summarization options (-t exon and -t gene) trying to compare the results side-by-side, using following options:
/featureCounts --primary -R CORE -F GTF -s 0 -Q 0 -t exon -g gene_id -T 8 -a Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.81.gtf -p -o test1.exon.featureCounts test1.Aligned.out.bam
/featureCounts --primary -R CORE -F GTF -s 0 -Q 0 -t gene -g gene_id -T 8 -a Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.81.gtf -p -o test1.gene.featureCounts test1.Aligned.out.bam
I found that the order of reads in the output files (the .bam.featureCounts file that is at the read level) were different. The total number of lines were the same.
Q1: Is there is an option to keep the order in the output the same?
Q2: I also observed that some reads have multiple lines of output for multi-mapping (from multiple multi-mapping hits in the bam?) and sometimes at different places in the file (so, collapsing contiguous lines using uniq does not alleviate it). Is it possible to tackle this somehow? Eg:
Read1 Unassigned_MultiMapping -1 NA
Read1 Unassigned_MultiMapping -1 NA
Read1 Unassigned_MultiMapping -1 NA
The bam file was the output of STAR aligner on paired end RNASeq data (Unsorted).
Many thanks for your replies in advance.

The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...-

Sequencing mRNA provides a snapshot of cellular activity, allowing researchers to study the dynamics of cellular processes, compare gene expression across different tissue types, and gain insights into the mechanisms of complex diseases. “mRNA’s central role in the dogma of molecular biology makes it a logical and relevant focus for transcriptomic studies,” stated Sebastian Aguilar Pierlé, Ph.D., Application Development Lead at Inorevia. “One of the major hurdles for...-
