  • quantitative expression study in twins

    Hi all,

    I am about to undertake a study investigating the gene expression differences between human twins using tissue from the pregnancy. I aim to quantify expression differences and hopefully allele-specific differences and splice variants between the individuals.

    The abundance of transcripts differentially expressed is largely unknown and I was hoping for some input on calculating what sequencing depth I should be aiming for.

    From trolling the literature I figure 8 gigabases of data per sample from 100bp paired-end Illumina Hi-seq run should give me more than enough data.

    I also plan on running a 35bp single end library in addition to this for each sample for miRNA, etc.

    Any thoughts, comments etc on how deep I should aim with the human transcriptome?

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
