The problem about tophat software -G parameter
Holle everyone! I am a beginner in RNA-Sequencing. I have a simple problem about 'tophat' software: what different on result between using -G parameter and do not use? If I use this parameter and give it a gene annotation file (e.g. gencode human V10) in reads alignment, can I use another version of annotation file (e.g. gencode human V19) when count reads number? Thank you very much!

You should know that the old 'Tuxedo' pipeline of Tophat(2) and Cufflinks is no longer the "advisable" tool for RNA-seq analysis. The software is deprecated/ in low maintenance and should be replaced by HISAT2, StringTie and ballgown. See this paper: Transcript-level expression analysis of RNA-seq experiments with HISAT, StringTie and Ballgown. There are also other alternatives, including alignment with STAR and bbmap, or pseudo-alignment using salmon.
Not getting tired to enlighten the Tuxedo folks :-D
Ya I should really write a bot to get this done.
