Meta-analysis combining multiple transcriptomic studies increases statistical power and accuracy in detecting differentially expressed genes. As the next-generation sequencing experiments become mature and affordable, increasing number of RNA-seq datasets are available in the public domain. The count-data based technology provides ...

While RNA-Seq has enabled great progress towards the goal of wide-scale isoform-level mRNA quantification, short reads have limitations when resolving complex or similar sets of isoforms. As a result, estimates of isoform abundance carry far more uncertainty than those made ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can be used to characterise differences in gene expression patterns between pre-specified populations of cells. Traditionally, differential expression tools are restricted to the study of changes in overall expression between cell populations. However, such analyses do ...

A team led by researchers at Ohio State have developed a model-based Bayesian inference to screen for differentially expressed genes based on RNA-seq data. RNA-seq is a high-throughput next-generation sequencing application that can be used to measure the expression of ...
