用哪个版本的基因组和注释文件好？| 亲测

What Ensembl genome version should I use for alignments? (e.g. toplevel.fa vs. primary_assembly.fa)

这是一个很细节也很实际的问题，到底用哪个版本？

参考：

What Ensembl genome version should I use for alignments? (e.g. toplevel.fa vs. primary_assembly.fa)

Results differ when using different ensembl versions

 

First part options:

  • dna_sm - Repeats soft-masked (converts repeat nucleotides to lowercase)
  • dna_rm - Repeats masked (converts repeats to to N's)
  • dna - No masking

Second part options:

  • .toplevel - Includes haplotype information (not sure how aligners deal with this)

  • .primary_assembly - Single reference base per position

 

大部分都推荐使用soft-mask版本的，也就是没有把repeat替换为N。

 

下载hg19基因组：http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/bigZips/

参考：基因组各种版本对应关系

从genecode下载hg19注释文件：ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/gencode/Gencode_human/release_27/

UCSC也可以下载，不过只能从网页导出。http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables

注：genecode貌似出了问题，https://www.gencodegenes.org/releases/26lift37.html，里面ebi的链接无法下载了。

基因组不是越新越好的，看看最新的CNS，里面很少有用最新版本的基因组，为什么？因为注释没跟上，你做出来的东西可能和别人对不上。

用不同版本的基因组效果会怎么样？

我做了转录组的测试，用的hg19和GRCh38

结论如下：

1. reads比对到基因组上的情况大致相同，基本没有差别；

2. 用不同的注释文件，基因表达的结果差距非常大。同样都是用featureCounts

GRCh38的结果：

不同的注释文件千万不要乱用！！！
