Run RNA-seq pipeline using the Telomere-2-Telomere (T2T) latest human genome

Since its initial release in 2000, the human reference genome has covered only the euchromatic fraction of the genome, leaving important heterochromatic regions unfinished. Addressing the remaining 8% of the genome, the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium presents a complete 3.055 billion–base pair sequence of a human genome, T2T-CHM13, that includes gapless assemblies for all chromosomes except Y, corrects errors in the prior references, and introduces nearly 200 million base pairs of sequence containing 1956 gene predictions, 99 of which are predicted to be protein coding. The completed regions include all centromeric satellite arrays, recent segmental duplications, and the short arms of all five acrocentric chromosomes, unlocking these complex regions of the genome to variational and functional studies (Nurk et al., Science, 2022 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abj6987).

Run RNAseq pipeline using a custom genome

We can use the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline to profile the expression of genes in a custom genome (e.g., T2T or any animal or plant genome) of your interest, as long as there is a reference genome (FASTA file) and genome annotation (GTF or GFF3).

To use your own genome assembly - you need 1) FASTA genome sequence and 2) GFF/GTF genome annotation file

Code Block
--fasta my_custom_genome.fasta  # de novo assembled genome or genome not available as an igenomes reference
--gtf my_custom_genome.gtf      # genome annotatio showing the location of genes
