RNA-Seq Enabling Proteomic Studies
Filed Under Publications
Effective proteome profiling is generally considered to depend heavily on the availability of a high-quality DNA reference database. As such, proteomics has long been taxonomically restricted, with limited inroads being made into the proteomes of “non-model” organisms. However, next generation sequencing (NGS), and particularly RNA-Seq, now allows deep coverage detection of expressed genes at low cost, which in turn potentially facilitates the matching of peptide mass spectra with cognate gene sequence.
A team led by researchers at Cornell University used a custom RNA-Seq database, created through 454 pyrosequencing, to perform a quantitative analysis of the proteomes of domesticated and wild varieties of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). More than 1200 proteins were identified, with subsets showing expression differences between genotypes or in the accumulation of the corresponding transcripts. Importantly, no major qualitative or quantitative differences were observed in the characterized proteomes when mass spectra were used to interrogate either a highly curated community database of tomato sequences generated through traditional sequencing technologies, or the RNA-Seq database.
RNA-Seq provides a cost-effective and robust platform for protein identification and will be increasingly valuable to the field of proteomics.

- 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 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 expressionI 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 […]
