    Problem with using HTseq count

    Hi everyone,
    I am using Htseq count to identify a total number of reads mapped onto each feature. While I do get results, I see that some samples have the same gene name repeated 12 times with the same gene count. Also, I see that the same result is repeated 12 times (for reference i have attached the repetitive value of __no_feature count).
    __no_feature 1544569
    __no_feature 1544569
    __no_feature 1544569
    __no_feature 1544569
    __no_feature 1544569
    __no_feature 1544569
    __no_feature 1544569
    __no_feature 1544569
    __no_feature 1544569
    __no_feature 1544569
    __no_feature 1544569
    __no_feature 1544569
    It performs one run and does it again for 12 runs and gives me the same value for all the genes 12 times. I am confused why is this happening? is it normal for the software to work like this? or is it because I have requested more nodes to run this analysis? I did check my Gtf file and the transcript id and gene id are different in my Gtf file so I do not think that should be an issue. Please find the first few lines of gtf files as well here:
    ##gtf-version X

    Also this is the code that i used:



    for i in {1..36}; do htseq-count -r name -s no -f bam -c htseq_no_strand/out_S${i}.tsv ../alignment_S${i}.bam ../snigra.527.liftoff.gtf ; done
    ​
    ​I have 36 samples and I have seen this issue in half of them while others are fine. I did check the file size of the bam file. For the one which gives redundant output in htseq the bam file is around 3.5g and the others have 1.5g. Not sure if it has something to do with it. Any kind of help will be appreciated.
    Thank you

    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
