Low alignment rate when using fastq generated from bamtofastq #1429
-
Hi, I had to use cellranger's bamtofastq function for some bam files. Then I used the resulting fastq files for clonotype detection with mixcr. I noticed that the alignment rate was very low (from less than 1% to around 3%). Any thoughts? Thanks and good day. |

Its hard to say without knowing the wet-lab details. What cells were used for the sample preparation ? If it is a 10x data - what kit was used? 5'10x VDJ? What command did you use for MiXCR analysis? Can you share the report files generated by MiXCR? |

Thanks. I analyzed various studies. E.g. GSE160097 which used PBMCs and 5' 10x VDJ, GSE138669 which used skin and 3' 10x V2, GSE151177 which used skin and 3' 10x, GSE179640 which used endometrium and 3' 10x V3, and more. I used the following command:
One example of report file.

A low number of successfully aligned reads is expected for non-enriched 3' 10x data. |

Thanks. What about GSE160097 which used PBMCs and 5' 10x VDJ?

This file seems to be from gene expression not VDJ targeted library. The authors did both in the paper. For 10x VDJ the read length should be 150+150 according to the publication. |

Thanks. I actually emailed the NCBI GEO contact who told me they were all from VDJ sequencing (I guess this was not accurate). Is this the paper you are referring to https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/eji.202048797? |

Here in the description to the file it is said: Then I checked the read length for that file here and it is 98, which means its a 5' GEX. |
