PCA analysis

10-07-2013, 02:02 AM

Dear all,

I would like to use PCA to do initial subtyping of my RNA-Seq samples. But, I have questions regarding the loadings value (using prcomp in R).

It is fine if my loadings values for PC1(the one with the greatest variance) are less than 0.1 (magnitude)? or should I reduce the number of genes that I use in the analysis so that I can see increase in the loadings?

Thank you.

Wilson

If the loading is <10%, then it wouldn't make sense to try to segregate according to that as it won't be very predictive. Just try to use the top N most variable genes and you'll likely get much more useful results.

Improved Targeted Sequencing: A Comprehensive Guide to Amplicon Sequencing

by seqadmin

Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...

Targeted Sequencing: Choosing Between Hybridization Capture and Amplicon Sequencing

by seqadmin

Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...

Expert Advice on Automating Your Library Preparations

by seqadmin

Using automation to prepare sequencing libraries isn’t a new concept, and most researchers are aware that there are numerous benefits to automating this process. However, many labs are still hesitant to switch to automation and often believe that it’s not suitable for their lab. To combat these concerns, we’ll cover some of the key advantages, review the most important considerations, and get real-world advice from automation experts to remove any lingering anxieties....
