The organizers of RNA-Seq 2013 are running a promotion this week for the conference. Over the next few weeks they will be conducting interviews with members of the speaker panel to give you some insight into their work in the field of RNA-Seq. Before getting started, they want to find out what questions you would ask if you had the chance.

They are asking people to submit questions that they would like to ask the speakers. They will then compile these for interviews with the speakers and release the articles shortly after.

Speakers include…

• Thomas Wu, Senior Scientist, Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, Genentech
• Brian Haas, Manager of Genome Annotation, Outreach, Bioinformatics and Analysis, Broad Institute
• Edward Oakeley, Senior Group Head, Next Generation Sequencing, Novartis
• Rick Stevens, Senior Scientist, Head of Next Generation Sequencing Platform, Merck
• Sherry Cao, Associate Director, Scientific Computating, Genzyme
• Paul Kayne, Senior Principal Scientist, Head of Genomic Technologies, Bristol Myers-Squibb
• Ganesh Sathe, Manager DNA Sequencing, GSK
• Maarten Leerkes, Genome Analysis Specialist, NIH

View the full speaker line up here

This speakers on the panel have been selected to deliver a comprehensive guide for applying RNA-Seq in drug discovery and development.

If you have a question that you would like to ask during the interviews then send an email to info@hansonwade.com and tell them what it is. They plan to compile all your suggestions and include the most popular themes in the interview questions.

  • 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 tag, which is useful for subsequent analyses, such as annotation. However, does this information influence the "mappability" of reads, or is this unaffected? My guess is that the information will be considered for mapping […]
  • 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 […]
  • Cell Type composition in a tissue based on gene marker expression
    I am not sure if the following would even make sense.... Tissues are composed of composite cell types, and often there are studies such as microarray/NGS where we perform a collective sampling of cells from these tissues. Information about the composition (say percentage of cell type) is not taken into consideration. In some case (such as brain/cancer), ther […]
  • Which SNP caller / method to use after aligning RNA-seq with TopHat
    Which SNP caller / method can / should I use after aligning RNA-seq data with TopHat? For genomic data I use GATK, but supposedly it is not just as easy as running GATK on the TopHat RNA-seq data. The team from Broad has no information / documentation on how to use GATK for RNA-seq data. I don't have any variants yet from DNA re-sequencing. […]
