The availability of low-cost small-factor sequencers, such as the Illumina MiSeq, MiniSeq, or iSeq, have paved the way for democratizing genomics sequencing, providing researchers in minority universities with...

The recently introduced Kallisto pseudoaligner has radically simplified the quantification of transcripts in RNA-sequencing experiments.  Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC offer cloud-scale RNAseq pipelines Arkas-Quantification, which deploys Kallisto for parallel cloud computations, and Arkas-Analysis, which annotates ...

Massively parallel RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has rapidly become the assay of choice for interrogating RNA transcript abundance and diversity. This article provides a detailed introduction to fundamental RNA-seq molecular biology and informatics concepts. The authors make available open-access RNA-seq tutorials ...

miRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs mainly involved in post-transcription control of gene expression although they are also involved in other non-canonical functions. Furthermore, they represents an interesting class of biomarkers for a large variety of diseases. Small RNA-sequencing ...
