  • 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.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

      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...
