    Too many samples

    So I've been given transcriptome data for ... quite a lot of samples (>500). It's all from various tumours from one specific tumour type. There's a clinical grading for how serious each tumour is.

    My concern is that, given it's cancer, within the groups formed by the clinical grading, there's probably a fair amount of variability. Which means that if we attempt differential expression analysis, then it's possible (likely?) that the differences within the clinical grading could obscure the differences between the groups.

    If one is looking for the best way to identify several different sets of genes for each clinical grading group, so as to be able to identify them, what's the best approach? My initial thoughts involve some form of clustering to identify sub groups within each clinical grading, but without knowing which genes to look at beforehand, that's going to end up with me attempting to cluster 20,000 odd genes, which, if I recall correctly, would be prohibitive, time-wise.

    What's the best approach for this sort of thing?

    Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
    by seqadmin




    The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

    New Genomics Tools and Methods Shared at AGBT 2025
    by seqadmin


    This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

    The Headliner
    The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...
