This is an amusing post to look back on three years later. It would have been even more interesting if people had posted their predictions. -
Which name henceforth ?
Ok, I am genuinely curious to know what people think of the three acronyms and which one will last.... I must say that while I've heard a multitude of people use the term RNA-seq at conferences and within ENCODE, I had not heard the terms WTSS and SQRL until I looked at the papers.Leave a comment:

SQRL is on the front page, but it's a good thread to start. There are many important papers and methods coming out now.
You forgot another very important one...

WTSS, SQRL or RNA-seq
In the last couple of weeks, 4 papers have come out that all describe the sequencing of mammalian transcriptomes with short reads. It has been termed, by different groups, Whole Transcriptome Shotgun Sequencing, Short Quantitative Random RNA Libraries, and RNA-seq. I haven't seen any posts here on it, so I thought I would provide the links:
(application to mammals)

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM -
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...09-09-2024, 10:59 AM
