Kissplice2RefTranscriptome interpreting results

Hi Everyone,

I was looking at my results from Kissplice2RefTranscriptome and I note that SNPs were annotated for my mitochondrial genes. This doesn't look right because the mitochondrial genes of my organism are haploid. I followed the steps as noted in the manual with a Trinity De novo assembly. Has anyone encountered this problem? is this a matter of adjusting the pipeline?

Best, Vanessa

mitochondrial genes of my organism are haploid

Unless your organism is different than other eukaryotes your mitochondrial chromosome is all but haploid. It's massiveploid. I just invented that term, but it just means that you have many mitochondrial genomes in an average cell, which can definitely have SNPs.
