  • Tag-Seq Data Analysis

    Hello!

    Can anybody help me with informations concerning the analysis of Tag-Seq (Tag-Profiling/Illumina) data? I´m new to this topic and already posted a thread in the bioinformatic section - no reply so far.

    Are there already packages available and if this is the case which one is best to use? Or is it possible to use standard programs for RNA-Seq (like ERANGE)?
    What kind of steps need to be implied?
    I´ve read about an in-house perl script (Morrissy et al. 2009). Does anybody have an equivalent? Is it possible to test it?

    I would appreciate any advice.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Tagz,

    It's possible to use the DiscoverySpace platform to analyze Tag-seq data (http://www.bcgsc.ca/platform/bioinfo/software/ds). It was originally developed for LongSAGE data, so there is one caveat when working with the much much larger Tag-seq libraries: you have to remove the low frequency tags (<5 counts) to make the libraries small enough to be manageable by the software. Statistically speaking, tags occurring at a frequency of <5 are not statistically very different than 0, so it is not a huge compromise, depending on what your analysis is. For instance, if you're looking for statistically significant changes in tag expression between two libraries, having a count of 200 in one library and either 5 or 0 in another library would give upi pretty much the same result.

    Alternatively, if you have time to wait, some of the in-house scripts mentioned in the paper will be made available as part of a second publication coming out in the next couple of months.

    There may be other tools out there for analyzing LongSAGE data that could be used for Tag-seq data, but I have not looked for them.

    best of luck

        DE analysis of Tag-seq using edgeR

        Hi Tagz

        The Bioconductor package 'edgeR' can be used to analyse Tag-seq data for differential expression (http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals...hort/26/1/139; http://www.bioconductor.org/packages...tml/edgeR.html). Indeed, we have achieved good results when using the package to (re-)analyse publicly available Tag-seq data (e.g. from T Hoen et al 2008, doi:10.1093/nar/gkn705).

        Cheers

          Hi

          in my experience, the first step will be to visualize your alignment in a genome browser to see how many tags per transcript you get. (Don't count on there being only one.) Then, you can create a count table, e.g. with our htseq-count script, and analyse this count table with either edgeR (Davis et al.'s package, see post #4) or DESeq (our package).

            Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
            by seqadmin



            The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

            Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
            by seqadmin



            Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
