Interpretation of the output files #38

Open Machadum opened 6 months ago

Hi Adam,

I am new to the TE field and I would really appreciate if you could help me with the interpretation of the output files. I work on human samples (on a specific cell type; sequenced with ONT) from before and after treatment in which active mobile element content is not at all understood but it is human genome so can I consider it as "not at all understood"? I tried either with -e teref.ont.human.fa or -e noneand also --non ref_ nonref.collection.hg19.bed. with different outputs.

1) Do we need to specifiy a --ref_ genome when --non ref is specified? 2) Can we run tldr with -e nonref.collection.hg19.bedor it has to go with --non ref ? 3) The outputs of -e teref.ont.human.fa from before and after treatment differs, some insertions disappear and while some few are new. Is this due to the analysis itself or can I interpret it as insertions that have disappeared/appeared because of the treatment?

Appreciate any help! Thank You!!
