    • a simple question on RNA-Seq terminology
      This question may be very simple and basic, but I just need to confirm that I understand the differences among those terminologies in the RNA-Seq context. Suppose I have a sample called SLR, and it is sequenced on 5 lanes, so I have (among other output files) BAM files like L1_SLR, L2_SLR, L3_SLR, L5_SLR and L7_SLR.bam. Here, the letter "L" denotes […]

    • How to remove the intronic reads before counting
      I got RNASeq data in several samples. I checked the FastQC, seems the read quality are good (Hiseq 2000). But the problem is many reads are mapped to intronic region, and the regions have no any reference exons there (Refseq, ensembl, gencode). We don't know what they are. We guess the problem happend in library preparation, the concentration was low. N […]
