Cluster analysis using ShortStack #70

Closed arazit closed 6 years ago

arazit commented 6 years ago

Dear Dr. Axtell, I have used ShortStack 3.8.3 to predict small RNA clusters. I noticed that the more small RNAs I analyze I get less clusters. This happened also when I use constant mincov and not relative mincov (rpm). I use foldsize = 1000. Do you have any idea why? Thanks, Tzahi

Hi Tzahi,

Yes, this is expected. Bascially, with deeper coverage but the same mincov, clusters grow larger and adjacent clusters merge together ... if there are two hotspots, they will be found as two separate clusters with low coverage data. But if you sequence deeper, it often is the case that there are a few reads found in between hotspots, which cause the two initial clusters to be merged into one.

Best, Mike

Hi Mike Thanks a lot. Can I use deep coverage and still for example detect Mirnases? Tzahi

Definitely. You may just need to adjust the mincov if you feel the clustering is too aggressive. Sometimes each dataset takes a little tuning.
