I'm currently in the process of uploading my dataset to the gene omnibus (GEO), but the meta data form asks for an average insert size, but I'm not sure where to find this information. I used the transcript quantification tool Salmon in my analysis and I don't know if this information even exists given I didn't map the reads against a reference genome
Question: Is it possible to get an average insert size when mapping against a transcriptome using the newer transcript quantification tools such as Salmon
Any help would be greatly appreciated
This doesn't actually the question, but the average insert size field is optional, so you can leave it blank if you don't know it.
that's good to know. thanks
