we're working on mapping rnaseq short reads and wanted to get an idea of the current trends with which people are addressing these two main issues:
1. what is the consensus on including or excluding cloned
reads (reads which map to two or more places on the reference) specifically when looking at RNA-Seq in the context of gene
expression analysis (I believe in NGS with DNA, cloned reads need to
be excluded, perhaps also in de novo assembly of transcriptome using
RNA -Seq)?
2. Is RPKM still the accepted metric for expressing gene expression or
if not what is the alternative?
would be cool to see what the people out there are doing...
