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).

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
Davis

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

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.Tags: None

The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...-

Sequencing mRNA provides a snapshot of cellular activity, allowing researchers to study the dynamics of cellular processes, compare gene expression across different tissue types, and gain insights into the mechanisms of complex diseases. “mRNA’s central role in the dogma of molecular biology makes it a logical and relevant focus for transcriptomic studies,” stated Sebastian Aguilar Pierlé, Ph.D., Application Development Lead at Inorevia. “One of the major hurdles for...-
