How to align reads to only one strand on a haploid reference genome?
Hi folks,
I have a set of ChIP-seq data from a haploid cell line. How do I map the reads to only one strand of my haploid genome since the reads can only come from one strand?
Thank you so much!

Why would you want to do so with ChIP-seq data? As far as I know, you pull-down the DNA bound to a protein and you sequence it, so strand is not really a thing... if it was RNA, I would say it's valuable information, but with DNA, you're dealing with a double-stranded molecule!
Jeez. I think I mistakenly think that haploid genome has only one strand of DNA. :p I ask a silly question.
Though it is haploid, the DNAs are still double-stranded (Just that it has only 23 chromosomes).
Thanks for pointing out!
