Hi Noori,
Please could you give me a bit more information about how you're generating your data? What's the experiment?
Thanks
Mike

Thanks for your nice package for single cell TCR analysis. I have a question about alignment. Surprisingly, all of my fastq files show very low mapping rate. I checked fastqc file and it looks good but I don't know why it should show very low percent. I can run test data with 55.51% overall alignment rate TCR_A and 44.19% overall alignment rate TCR_B. i use the following command and this is the alignment output:
$ tracer assemble -p 8 -c tracer.conf -s Hsap fastq1.gz fastq2.gz name output_dir **##Finding recombinant-derived reads## Attempting new assembly for ['TCR_A', 'TCR_B']
TCR_A

801376 pairs aligned concordantly 0 times; of these: 6 (0.00%) aligned discordantly 1 time

I have also edited the header of fastq files by removing sequence index and etc.. but it didn't change the result. here is the original header of my fastq file

However i have name_TCRseqs.fa file produced by tracer but for many other files it is empty. do you think there is something wrong with my data or running?
Thanks,
Noori

Hi Mike, thanks for your quick response. it is full-length single cell RNA-seq libraries were prepared using the SMART-seq2 protocol. cDNA was fragmented using Illumina and amplified with indexed Nextera PCR primers.
OK great.
And, just checking, are these human cells?

yes they are
Great, thanks.
Looking at this in a bit more detail I think that your mapping rates look to be at roughly what one might expect in data from a genuine cell. The test data rates (~50%) are so high because those test input files are selected to be enriched for the TCR sequences.
For what proportion of your cells do you get reconstructed TCR sequences. If you run tracer summarise
for all of your cells, what does TCR_summary.txt
say?
TCR_A reconstruction: 35 / 109 (32.1%) TCR_B reconstruction: 13 / 109 (11.9%)
AB productive reconstruction: 7 / 109 (6.4%)
+--------+----------------+---------------+----------------+ | | 0 recombinants | 1 recombinant | 2 recombinants | +--------+----------------+---------------+----------------+ | all A | 71 | 34 (89%) | 4 (11%) | | all B | 96 | 13 (100%) | 0 (0%) | | prod A | 74 | 33 (94%) | 2 (6%) | | prod B | 96 | 13 (100%) | 0 (0%) | +--------+----------------+---------------+----------------+
This is a text representation of the groups shown in clonotype_network_with_identifiers.svg. It does not exclude cells that only share beta and not alpha.
Thanks!
So, it looks like reconstruction is working but at a fairly low rate.
Without knowing more about your experiment I'd guess that this is due to some property of the cells or the sequencing.
Sorry I can't be more help.

thank you so much for your help. yes, i think the most of them are naive. so probably that's why they can not be mapped more. Thanks, Noori
No problem. Good luck with the experiments!
