What is my RNA-seq data's library-type?!

Hi,

I know it's a typical question but I couldn't figure it out reading forums and manual. So I have to set this library-type for TopHat but I don't know how to find what is my library-type! I just checked the accepted_hits.bam out of TopHat in IGV and Color aligned by read strand, here is an screenshot but I am not sure if it is telling anything regarding the library type! Any advise on this is appreciated.

Thanks! So if my library is single-end does it mean that the library is unstranded?!

I have the same confusion! Have you found the answer? Could you share it? Many thanks!
