    cummeRbund PCA plot

    Can anyone explain cummeRbund's PCA plot?
    I posted this question earleir in the RNA-sequencing forum but never got any replies so will try here in the Bioinformatics forum.

    I do understand traditional PCA plots, like the one in DESeq, and cummeRbund's MDS plot, but what does everything in cummeRbund's PCA version mean? What are the dots (PCA loading factors or expression values?), and what are the arrows? (There is no explanation in the manual)

    Dots are expression values transformed into PC. The arrows show how depends the given condition to the PC (you can see axes rotations.)

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

      Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
      by SEQadmin2



      Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

      There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
