Read More »Are we sequencing too deep?
RNA-seq is increasingly used to study gene expression of various organisms. While it provides a great opportunity to explore genome-scale transcriptional patterns with tremendous depth, it comes with prohibitive costs. Establishing a minimal sequencing depth for required accuracy will guide ...
Read More »A Comparison of Next Generation Sequencing Technologies for Transcriptome Assembly
De novo assembled transcriptomes, in combination with RNA-Seq, are powerful tools to explore gene sequence and expression level in organisms without reference genomes. Investigators must first choose which high throughput sequencing platforms will provide data most suitable for their experimental ...

from the Cornell Chronicle by Carly Hodes Cornell scientists exploring the road from genes to proteins can access a new research service that helps map some of its more mysterious turns. The university has established the RNA Sequencing Core (RSC) ...
Read More »Using next-generation RNA sequencing to identify imprinted genes
Genomic imprinting is manifested as differential allelic expression (DAE) depending on the parent-of-origin. The most direct way to identify imprinted genes is to directly score the DAE in a context where one can identify which parent transmitted each allele. Because ...
