    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.

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

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2




      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

      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
