    Query individuals with both WGS and RNA-Seq data

    Using the SRAdb R package, I am looking to query individuals who possess both WGS and RNA-Seq data on the Sequence Read Archive. So far I believe I have been able to query specific samples with both WGS and RNA-Seq experiments, however a specific sample, provided by the sample_accession, is not exactly what I'm looking for.

    For example: I'm interested in finding human data in which one human was used to derive WGS data, and several tissues from that same human were used to derive RNA-Seq data.

    Is there any easy way to accomplish this using SQL and/or R?

    So far, this is my approach to identify samples that have both WGS and RNA-Seq data, using the local database, SRAmetadb.sqlite:

    Code:
    con <- dbConnect(SQLite(),'SRAmetadb.sqlite')
    query <- dbGetQuery(con,
                        paste(
                              "SELECT
                                sample.sample_accession,
                                sample.scientific_name,
                                experiment.experiment_accession,
                                experiment.library_strategy
                              FROM sample
                              JOIN experiment ON
                                sample.sample_accession = experiment.sample_accession
                              WHERE experiment.library_strategy in ('WGS','RNA-Seq')
                              GROUP by sample.sample_accession
                              HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT experiment.library_strategy) = 2"
                            )
                        )
    With this approach, I can see query contains 181 human samples that have at least one WGS experiment and one RNA-Seq experiment. That's great, but I feel I must be missing out on data that came from different samples but the same individuals.

    Of course, I am not only interested in querying data from the SRA, if other databases are more appropriate for this task

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    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, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
