  • Very low abundant genes, interpretation of noise

    In a typical RNA-seq experiment, Illumina paired-end, Hs ensembl genome, happy tuxedo mapping and HTSeq counting, we get a list of genes associated with number of reads.
    The typical distribution of frequency is bimodal:
    - a peak with low abundant genes considered as noise
    - a peak with gene of biological (biochemical) interest, that one is considered for typical significance analysis, SNP analysis aso.

    What is the composition, what is the sens of that first peak containing mainly genes without any read but also a proportion of genes with, let's say, less than 10 reads.

    These latest are 19% processed pseudogenes, 16% protein coding, 12% Linc RNA, 10% antisens which doesn't follow the biotype distribution from Ensembl.

    Why only <10 read uniquely mapped to these genes? Any suggestion?
    Ie: contamination of DNA? Nascent RNA? RNA dark/junk matter? Size (of gene) matter?

    Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
    by seqadmin



    The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

    Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
    by seqadmin



    Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
