  • mean inner distance

    I am new to RNA-seq data analysis and have a question about how to calculate the mean inner distance to input in TopHat.
    I am dealing with 75bp paired-end reads, 300 fragments and 120bp total adaptor length.

    The TopHat manual says:
    <for paired end runs with fragments selected at 300bp, where each end is 50bp, you should set -r to be 200>

    My question is: "each end refers to the 75bp in my data"?
    Ar the adaptors (120 bp total) not considered?

    Thanks.
    EBR

    You should take the adapters into considerations, taking 300 - (2*75) - 120 = 30

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      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...
