Which of the following aligners is specifically “splice-aware,” meaning it can correctly align reads spanning exon–exon junctions? A) BWA-MEM B) Bowtie2 C) STAR D) Bismark

A STAR RNA-seq Log.final.out report shows: Uniquely mapped reads % = 42%, Unmapped (too short) % = 35%, Multi-mapping % = 3%. What is the most likely interpretation and appropriate first troubleshooting step? A) This is excellent-quality data requiring no further action B) The low unique-mapping rate combined with a high “too short” unmapped percentage suggests possible adapter contamination or an incorrect/mismatched reference genome; the appropriate first step is to re-check FastQC adapter content and confirm the correct reference/species were used C) The high multi-mapping rate is the primary cause of the poor result D) The library was simply over-sequenced and should be down-sampled

What is the generally accepted minimum acceptable RNA Integrity Number (RIN) for high-quality RNA-seq library preparation? A) RIN ≥ 2 B) RIN ≥ 4 C) RIN ≥ 7 D) RIN ≥ 10 

Which character marks the beginning of the header (identifier) line of a FASTQ read? A) > B) @ C) # D) +

Which sequence of tools represents the correct procedure for generating per-sample quality reports and then aggregating them into a single interactive summary report across many samples? A) FastQC –> MultiQC B) MultiQC –> FastQC C) Bowtie –> FastQC –> MultiQC D) FastQC
