I have some samples with total RNA Seq data and need to find differential expression. This is the first time I am working on this type of data and have no idea how to analyze it. I usually map the RNASeq data using tophat with say for mm9 around 21k refseq genes or so, then use HTSeq and DESeq to find differential expression. Now total RNA has more than the mRNA genes in it, what should I map this data to?

Hi ashuchawla,
If you want to do differential gene expression analysis, you can use the same pipeline. Mapping to mm9 is still fine.
AFAIK, the RefSeq annotation contains also more than mRNA. Just check your annotation. Personally, I prefer the Ensembl annotation which contains a lot of different biotype classes.
You can use for instance the IGV browser, load the Ensembl annotation via DAS and compare your mRNA-Seq data with the total RNA-Seq data.

by kinpict.comThe part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

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,...-
