Comment: C: Is there a preferred RNA-seq aligner for (very) short reads and potential homolo

Answer: A: Does Gene length corrected TMM [GeTMM] violate any assumptions of TMM normalizat
... Technically, RPK values do not violate assumptions of TMM. TMM is just a technique that tries to find the non-DE portion of the expression distribution by very liberally trimming off outliers. It doesn't matter what kind of expression units you are using. However, RPK values do violate assumptio ...

Answer: A: Trimmomatic output file Issue
... It looks like you are not specifying an output file for the -trimlog parameter. So it thinks your `output_forward_paired.fq.gz` is an input. I hope you still can still redownload `sample1_R1_001.fastq.gz`, because it might have been overwritten. ...

Answer: C: Getting the number of SNPs in some ranges
... You have a .csv file with chromosome, start, end coordinates. You can change that into a .bed file pretty easily. Same with your SNP csv file. Convert those csv files to bed and then use bedtools intersect. ...

Comment: C: Strange Depth of Coverage distribution
... Yeah that could be it. You can check this by looking at the insert size distribution of your PE reads. See if it is smaller than 2 * average read length. The 9th column of your .sam/.bam should be the insert size. ...

Comment: C: Getting read depth for normal and tumour
... I am not sure what program you are using to generate the .vcfs. But you should look into the manual of the program and see if it outputs depths using the format fields in the vcf. For example, you have "DP" field in your vcf that shows the depth of the individual samples. Perhaps one of the other f ...
