Hi all,

My dataset read length is 36 and I want to decide which version of tophat should I use. Is it correct that when the read length is less than 50 I should use the Bowtie 1 index and tophat 1 ? or can use the latest version of them as well?

many thanks in advance

actually it is illumina dataset And we were thinking is it always good idea that we use the latest version of methods like here the Bowtie 2 index version or would it be more reliable that we decide about the version depending on our dataset.

and I forgot to say that there are two datasets, one paired end and one singe end.

for 36 nucleotides I would use the version 1, and remember to change the parameter that would split your read in n-mers

so do you agree with the trend that for reads shorter than 50 version 1 is ,ore efficient or are there other parameters I should take into account?
