   Tophat

   TopHat v2.1.1 (Inferred with models/gemini-2.5-flash)

   $ Bash example

   # Install TopHat (example using conda)
   # conda install -c bioconda tophat=2.1.1
   
   # Define variables for input and reference files
   # Replace with actual paths to your data and reference files
   # For human (Homo sapiens), GRCh38/hg38 is the latest assembly.
   GENOME_INDEX="/path/to/your/genome/index/hg38_index" # Bowtie2 index for GRCh38
   GTF_FILE="/path/to/your/annotation/hg38.gtf" # GTF file for GRCh38 (e.g., from GENCODE or Ensembl)
   READ1_FASTQ="sample_R1.fastq.gz"
   READ2_FASTQ="sample_R2.fastq.gz" # Omit if single-end
   OUTPUT_DIR="tophat_output"
   
   # Create output directory if it doesn't exist
   mkdir -p "${OUTPUT_DIR}"
   
   # Run TopHat for paired-end RNA-seq alignment
   # -p: number of threads
   # -G: GTF annotation file for splice junction mapping
   # -o: output directory
   # The last arguments are the Bowtie2 index prefix and the input FASTQ files
   tophat -p 8 -G "${GTF_FILE}" -o "${OUTPUT_DIR}" "${GENOME_INDEX}" "${READ1_FASTQ}" "${READ2_FASTQ}"
   
   # For single-end reads, the command would be:
   # tophat -p 8 -G "${GTF_FILE}" -o "${OUTPUT_DIR}" "${GENOME_INDEX}" "${READ1_FASTQ}"

   HT-Seq Count

   htseq-count v0.11.2 GitHub

   $ Bash example

   # Install HTSeq (if not already installed)
   # conda install -c bioconda htseq
   
   # Example usage of htseq-count for gene quantification.
   # This command assumes single-end reads, 'no' strandedness, and default 'union' mode.
   # Adjust the '-s' (strandedness) parameter based on your library preparation protocol (e.g., 'yes', 'reverse', 'no').
   # Adjust the '-r' (read order) parameter if using paired-end data and reads are sorted by name (e.g., 'name' instead of 'pos').
   # Adjust the '-f' (input format) parameter if using SAM instead of BAM.
   # The annotation GTF file (Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.109.gtf) is a placeholder; replace with your specific annotation file.
   
   htseq-count \
       -f bam \
       -r pos \
       -s no \
