  • Trouble with Cyclin D3 in the Golub dataset

    Dear ALL,

    Many of you will be aware of the Golub et al data, one of the first
    high-throughput gene expression datasets ever, used for teaching
    in many places. I recently noticed that for one of the genes,
    the expression pattern in their famous figure does not seem
    to match the underlying data (as they are available via the
    R package, and described in Wim Krijnen's wonderful book
    "Applied Statistics for Bioinformatics using R".) But maybe
    I'm just missing or misunderstanding something.

    From the Figure of the original publication, it is clear that
    expression values of Cyclin D3 for AML are mostly below 0, cf. the forth row in


    However, inspecting the data, and concordant with e.g. Figure 2.4 of the book,
    "Boxplot of ALL and AML expression values of gene CCND3 Cyclin D3",
    it is clear that for AML, expression values of Cyclin D3 are above 0.

    I checked that there is only one Cyclin D3 in the dataset; I'm not sure
    about the possibility that the data were normalized differently; I checked
    some other genes, and I found no such problem for any other gene, so
    I'm not sure that it's a normalization issue.

    Can anyone help and shed some light on this issue?
    Thanks!!

    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,...

    Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
    by seqadmin




    Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
