RNA-Seq Technical Guide

Filed Under Information 

from Genome Web

RNA-seq, though, is a fairly new approach and investigators are still working out all the kinks. So that’s what we focus on in this installment of Genome Technology‘s technical guide series. In these pages, our panel of experts answer questions to help you set up and conduct a high-quality, well-controlled RNA-seq experiment. It’s chock-full of good advice and ideas — but if at the end you are still stuck or just want more to read, check out our resources page in the back for papers and helpful websites. (read more… )

    I think it’s a very nice website to reach the information about the RNA-Seq,and my research field now is on RNA-Seq.So I am so execiting when I found this website.It was opened a window to me to absorb the advanced knowledges renewed.I want to be one of yours

    • reason for low mapping rate?? May 23, 2013
      we did RNASeq using HiSeq 2000 100PE. When the data were back, I mapping them to the reference sequence, but got very low mapping rate (30-40%). I... […]

    • Why am I getting so many unmapped reads in STAR, classified as "too short"?
      I am currently using STAR to map several Hi-SEQ mRNA runs. I'm having trouble getting a decent amount of reads to map, but I don't really understand why. I'm hoping you can shed some light :) In the final log, only about 50% (or less) of the reads map to the reference. I'm using a GTF in addition to the genome. The unmapped bin that most […]
    • What are the best practices for SNP identification in RNA seq transcriptome data
      I have 20 RICE RNA seq tranascriptome data hiseq 2000 platform paired end reads. I aligned fasta reads with BWA and remove PCR duplicates with PICARD. Later I call SNP with samtools using various parameters. I would like to clarify what parameters should I used while alinging to reference rice genome for looking SNP location 100 bp upstream and 250 bp downst […]
    • How do TopHat options -g , --supress-hits, and Bowtie options interplay?
      Hi, I am currently using TopHat2 to map RNA-seq runs. I think there have been some changes pertaining the -g option. Does anyone know how it works now? I used to think that setting -g would look for n alignments for a given read, report them [if top-scoring] and discard those reads that had more than g [top scoring] alignments. Now, the description sounds mo […]
    • What happened to -k in TopHat for multiple-mapping reads?
      Selecting -g n in tophat does not discard reads mapping more than n, but instead only reports n alignments for those out all all their TOP scoring alignments. I think there used to be an option -k that would allow one to discard reads that topped x alignments -- whatever happened to that? I only see -g in the tophat 2 manual, no reporting options like before […]
    • Does tophat use the library-type information for mapping, or just for the XS flag?
      When I specify library-type to TopHat, i.e., first-strand, second-strand, unstranded, TopHat appends a value + or - to the XS:A flag, which is useful for subsequent analyses, such as annotation. However, does this information actually influence the "mappability" of reads, or is this unaffected? My thinking is that the information would be considere […]
    • Purpose of Y-shaped adapters in Illumina Sequencing?
      Hi all, Y adapters different sequences to be annealed to the 5' and 3' ends of each molecule in a library. The arms of the Y are unique, and the middle part, connected to the DNA fragment, is complementary. What are the advantages of this? My take of this over having fully-complementary adapters (ADAPTER1 - - - - - ADAPTER1) is that: -Upon primer a […]
