    RNAseq on SOLiD via GALAXY

    Having some problems with my RNAseq analysis. In fact, I haven't even started yet, just converting files to the correct format for tophat. We do have a local version of tophat that can use colorspace fastq files. These are the problems I am having now:

    1) I have now both csfasta and qual files for all of my data. Can I convert to csfastq in GALAXY using the "Convert SOLiD output to fastq" tool? I tried this and got:

    +
    @@>/;@2/;;2=@2@@@2@2@@/@<@@@?@@//-/=@22/@/6;<@@@?;

    Is this color space fastq format? Ready to put into Tophat for mapping?

    2) Is it better for some reason to convert xsq files DIRECTLY to csfastq using the python script? If so, I am working on that with another collaborator, but I wanted to know before I do any in depth analysis with the files I can generate now.

    3) For some reason our local install of "Tophat for SOLiD Find splice junctions using RNA-seq data" does not have the reference genomes listed. I downloaded hg19 from iGenomes, but needed to convert it from gtf to fasta to use it. The program sees the file now, but I was wondering if this is the correct thing to do.

    Cheers,

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    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...
