    One problem about RefSeq annotation file

    Hi Guys,

    I have one question about the RefSeq annotation file downed from UCSC.

    Take the mm9 as example,

    Firstly, I downloaded the RefSeq GTF file of mm9 genome from the UCSC website and named it mm9_RefSeq.

    Then I wanted to see if the file format is standard, so I uploaded the file, namely mm9_RefSeq to the UCSC again. But an error jumped out with

    'Error File 'mm9_RefSeq' - GFF/GTF group NM_001031622_dup2 on chr5_random-, this line is on chrUn_random+, all group members must be on same seq and strand'

    As I didn't know much about either chrUn_ramdom or chrN_ramdom, I searched them and found them on the UCSC FAQ board,


    So my question is should I delete the entries referring to chrUn_ramdom and chrN_ramdom from the standard RefSeq annotation file before uploading it to the UCSC genome browser?

    And I also wanted to know what information could be observed from the chrUn_ramdom and chrN_ramdom entries in mm9_RefSeq. Could anybody please give me some ideas about it?

    Thanks a lot,

    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...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
