I am fortunate to work as a research scientist in the Genome Informatics Facility at Iowa State University, where I am surrounded by highly skilled bioinformaticians and constantly exposed to new ideas and approaches. This dynamic environment fosters my passion for science and my curiosity to keep learning and growing. With the support of the USDA, I have had the opportunity to create workshops and tutorials, and I also assist our faculty and industry collaborators through fee-for-service work. Over the years, I’ve been involved in a wide range of projects, developing and applying bioinformatics pipelines tailored to specific needs. I have also gained considerable experience in Hi-C scaffolding and genome annotation. I view this continuous exchange of ideas as key to my growth as both a researcher and a contributing member of the broader scientific community.

RSeQC tutorial to identify stranding information in RNAseq

RNA-seq technology has evolved and many datasets are now stranded, meaning strand specificity of origin for each transcript is retained in RNAseq.
Now comes the conundrum, what if this RNA-seq is not one you generated? There is always a need to confirm stranding information when not using self-generated data.

At this point we just assume that the reads are unstranded and align.  
If you have a huge number of reads that will take a significant amount of time to align, then take a subset of your fastq files
i.e. head -n 200000 R1.FASTQ >truncated_R1.fastq and head -n 200000 R2.fastq >truncated_R2.fastq
