I do have a set of data containing both Exome Seq and RNA Seq. It will be interesting to see how they correlate in terms of calling. Specifically, it will be interested to see how mark duplication will affect the concordance between the RNA samples from the DNA samples. However, I do have a question: is it valid to use tools like GATK to perform snp calling on RNA Samples? To my knowledge, it seems like GATK might contain certain prior specifically designed for exome sequencing (or whole genome sequencing). Wouldn't that also affect the call concordance in the final data?

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
