    a problem with RNA-Seq

    Hi All.

    I have problems with RNA-Seq. We used TruSeq kit to prepare libraries and Tophat to align reads. Take the following two genes as examples to show our problems.

    Almost no reads were mapped to exon 1 for Ptf1a.

    Many reads were mapped to introns for Rbpjl.

    At beginning, we thought it maybe the problem of alignment software. We tried GSNAP. However, the alignements were similar to Tophat.
    We suspected there might be some random errors in the experiments. However, when checking our another batch of RNA-Seq data which were done two months ago, we found the alignments were replicable between two batches.

    Does anyone have any ideas? Is there anything wrong with our experiments?

    Wish your help! Thanks very much! I appreciate it.

    What was the RIN score of your RNA prior to TruSeq RNA prep?

    The lower the RIN score, the more 3' bias you would expect.

      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

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
