• Assessing the Read Content of the Transcriptome Assembly
  • First, build a bowtie2 index for the transcriptome:
  • Then perform the alignment to just capture the read alignment statistics.
  • Visualize statistics:
  • Visualize read support using IGV
  • Sort the alignments by coordinate
  • Index the coordinate-sorted bam file
  • Index the Trinity.fasta file
  • View the aligned reads along the Trinity assembly reference contigs.
