Analysis Pipelines

To comprehensively study extracellular small RNAs (sRNA) by sequencing (sRNA-seq), researchers at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center developed a novel pipeline to overcome current limitations in analysis entitled, "Tools for Integrative Genome analysis...

Discovering new long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been a fundamental step in lncRNA-related research. Nowadays, many machine learning-based tools have been developed for lncRNA identification. However, many methods predict lncRNAs using sequence-derived features alone, which tend to display unstable performances ...

The field of small RNA is one of the most investigated research areas since they were shown to regulate transposable elements and gene...

Recently, long noncoding RNA molecules (lncRNA) captured widespread attentions for its critical roles in diverse biological process and important implications in variety of human diseases and cancers...

Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC)-cap-seq is a high-throughput sequencing method that combines ATAC-seq with targeted nucleic acid enrichment of precipitated DNA fragments. There are increased analytical difficulties arising from working with a set of regions of interest that may be ...

Although different quality controls have been applied at different stages of the sample preparation and data analysis to ensure both reproducibility and reliability of RNA-seq results, there are still limitations and bias on the detectability for certain differentially expressed genes ...

Recent single-cell RNA-seq protocols based on droplet microfluidics use massively multiplexed barcoding to enable simultaneous measurements of transcriptomes for thousands of individual cells. The increasing complexity of such data creates challenges for subsequent computational processing...

The quality of RNA sequencing data relies on specific priming by the primer used for reverse transcription (RT-primer). Non-specific annealing of the RT-primer to the RNA template can generate reads with incorrect cDNA ends and can cause misinterpretation...

As single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets have become more widespread the number of tools designed to analyse these data has dramatically...

Allele-specific transcriptional regulation, including of imprinted genes, is essential for normal mammalian development. While the regulatory regions controlling imprinted genes are associated with DNA methylation (DNAme) and specific histone...
