TopHat is a fast splice junction mapper for RNA-Seq reads. It aligns RNA-Seq reads to mammalian-sized genomes using the ultra high-throughput short read aligner Bowtie, and then analyzes the mapping results to identify splice junctions between exons.
Parameters in GUI
Parameter | Description | Default value |
---|---|---|
Output directory | Directory to save MACS output files. | |
Bowtie index directory | The directory with the Bowtie index for the reference sequence. | |
Bowtie index basename | The basename of the Bowtie index for the reference sequence. | |
Mate inner distance | The expected (mean) inner distance between mate pairs. | Standart Illumina |
Mate standard deviation | The standard deviation for the distribution on inner distances between mate pairs. | |
Library type | Specifies RNA-Seq protocol. | False |
No novel junctions | Only look for reads across junctions indicated in the supplied GFF or junctions file. This parameter is ignored if Raw junctions or Known transcript file is not set. | 0.1 |
Raw junctions | The list of raw junctions. | |
Known transcript file | A set of gene model annotations and/or known transcripts. | 0.15 |
Max multihits | Instructs TopHat to allow up to this many alignments to the reference for a given read, and suppresses all alignments for reads with more than this many alignments. | default |
Segment length | Each read is cut up into segments, each at least this long. These segments are mapped independently. | default |
Fusion search | Turn on fusion mapping. | |
