  • Significance of Overlapping Regions

    I have two bed files of genomic coordinates. (say 12000 entries in one, 1000 in the other) I know how many unique bases in the genome are covered by each file (say 12000=15% of the genome, 1000=3% of the genome. I overlap them and get a result, say 50% of the 1000 overlap the entries in the 12000. Does anyone have suggestions on how to test the significance of this given that any overlap (not complete) is counted as overlap? I've thought of adding expanding the refernence (12000) entries by 50% of the average length of the 1000 entries, but that seems a bit to crude.

    You can do a Monte carlo against randomly distributed regions, or even regions randomly distributed that are still the same distance to TSS or such. Will basically always call your result significant though, because the null model is bad.

      Sorry what does your last sentence mean? My plan is to use shuffleBed with intersectbed over 1000x and then plot the distribution of intersections and see where the actual data falls on the plot. Is that not sound?

        Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
        by seqadmin


        At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

        How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
        by seqadmin



        Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...
