ALEXA-seq – Alternative expression analysis by RNA sequencing
Filed Under Expression and Quantification
Alternative expression analysis by sequencing (ALEXA-seq)
A method to analyze massively parallel RNA sequence data in order to catalog transcripts and assess differential and alternative expression of known and predicted mRNA isoforms in cells and tissues. The authors compared fluorouracil-resistant and -nonresistant human colorectal cancer cell lines and observed global disruption of splicing in fluorouracil-resistant cells characterized by expression of new mRNA isoforms resulting from exon skipping, alternative splice site usage and intron retention.
They assessed the sensitivity and specificity of ALEXA-seq by comparison to exon tiling and splicing microarrays and validated the results with reverse transcription–PCR, quantitative PCR and Sanger sequencing.
Alternative expression annotation databases, source code, a data viewer and other resources to facilitate analysis are available at http://www.alexaplatform.org/alexa_seq/.

- Why am I getting so many unmapped reads in STAR, classified as "too short"?I am currently using STAR to map several Hi-SEQ mRNA runs. I'm having trouble getting a decent amount of reads to map, but I don't really understand why. I'm hoping you can shed some light :) In the final log, only about 50% (or less) of the reads map to the reference. I'm using a GTF in addition to the genome. The unmapped bin that most […]
- What are the best practices for SNP identification in RNA seq transcriptome dataI have 20 RICE RNA seq tranascriptome data hiseq 2000 platform paired end reads. I aligned fasta reads with BWA and remove PCR duplicates with PICARD. Later I call SNP with samtools using various parameters. I would like to clarify what parameters should I used while alinging to reference rice genome for looking SNP location 100 bp upstream and 250 bp downst […]
- How do TopHat options -g , --supress-hits, and Bowtie options interplay?Hi, I am currently using TopHat2 to map RNA-seq runs. I think there have been some changes pertaining the -g option. Does anyone know how it works now? I used to think that setting -g would look for n alignments for a given read, report them [if top-scoring] and discard those reads that had more than g [top scoring] alignments. Now, the description sounds mo […]
- What happened to -k in TopHat for multiple-mapping reads?Selecting -g n in tophat does not discard reads mapping more than n, but instead only reports n alignments for those out all all their TOP scoring alignments. I think there used to be an option -k that would allow one to discard reads that topped x alignments -- whatever happened to that? I only see -g in the tophat 2 manual, no reporting options like before […]
- Does tophat use the library-type information for mapping, or just for the XS flag?When I specify library-type to TopHat, i.e., first-strand, second-strand, unstranded, TopHat appends a value + or - to the XS:A flag, which is useful for subsequent analyses, such as annotation. However, does this information actually influence the "mappability" of reads, or is this unaffected? My thinking is that the information would be considere […]
- Purpose of Y-shaped adapters in Illumina Sequencing?Hi all, Y adapters different sequences to be annealed to the 5' and 3' ends of each molecule in a library. The arms of the Y are unique, and the middle part, connected to the DNA fragment, is complementary. What are the advantages of this? My take of this over having fully-complementary adapters (ADAPTER1 - - - - - ADAPTER1) is that: -Upon primer a […]

hi there – is it just me !! can any one explain why when i type in the bing browser “rna-seqblog.com” i get a different site yet whe i type it in google its ok? could this be a bug in my system or is any one else having same probs ?
