    Strange density plot of log10(fpkm)

    Dear all,

    I am analyzing my 50bp paired-end RNA-seq using the Tophat - Cuffdiff - Cufflinks - cummeRbund pipeline.
    I seem to get very nice plots with most of my data, but for one specific tissue I get a strange density plot for the KO sample with just one peak (like a shoulder) instead of the usual shape I get being the case for Ctrl.

    Do you know what is causing this distribution and is it something I would have to worry about?

    The fastqc files pass the fastQC quality control.

    Thanks in advance. Appreciate all inputs!

    The KO and the Ctrl graphs look normal to me. The slight change in the peak shapes could be a result of slightly different levels of gene expression between the two samples.

      Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
      by SEQadmin2



      CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

      Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

      The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
