    Transcriptome Assembly Questions for Cuffmerge

    Hi. I am trying to run a rather large experiment for my first RNAseq project. Unfortunately, I was convinced to use our SOLiD machines due to cost and proximity (but that's a different issue ). Let's say I get past this and have some mapped reads to input into Cufflinks and then Cuffmerge to make an assembly.

    How many Assembled Transcripts from how many replicate samples are required as input to Cuffmerge to make the final assembly? Do I need to dump ALL of the Assembled Transcripts for each experiment?

    The experiment is using three genotypes (Control, Del, Dup) and three biological replicates per genotype (R1, R2, R3). In addition, we are using both DPSCs and DPSC-neurons for all of these conditions. I said it was big!

    Any help appreciated.

    Well, the minimum number would be 2, but you'll want to merge all of the samples involved in any comparison that you intend to make.

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2





      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      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
