  • One repetition differs significantly

    Dear SeqAnswer community,
    I am working on an experiment in which we are doing RNAseq. We have 2 groups (a and p), each with three replicates. In one group, one repetition differs significantly from the others which is seen in the RNA-SeQC statistics (presented statistics after deduplication):

    10000 Expressed Transcripts Sample Mean Per Base Cov. Mean CV
    Bottom p1 3 0.92
    Middle p1 4.36 0.83
    Top p1 7.79 0.75
    Bottom p2 3.63 0.87
    Middle p2 5.28 0.79
    Top p2 8.87 0.72
    Bottom p3 3.43 0.9
    Middle p3 4.98 0.82
    Top p3 8.45 0.74
    Bottom a1 5.46 1.08
    Middle a1 5.71 1.07
    Top a1 6.08 1.06

    Bottom a2 7.2 0.82
    Middle a2 9.47 0.77
    Top a2 13.08 0.72
    Bottom a3 8.13 0.8
    Middle a3 10.03 0.77
    Top a3 12.72 0.73



    The other statistics like: Total Purity Filtered Reads Sequenced, Alternative Aligments, Estimated Library Size, Intragenic Rate, Exonic Rate, Intronic Rate, Intergenic Rate looks similar and overall alignment rate for bowtie looks similar for replicates.

    My workflow: tophat -> cufflinks -> cuffmerge -> cuffdiff

    The gene_exp.diff results for all replicates and without a1 differ in number of significant genes, from 405 to 168 differential expressed genes.
    What I should do with a1 sample?

    Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.
    Kacper

    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...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
