Recommendations for differential expression analysis and biomarker discovery small RNA-Seq experiments in an age of liquid biopsies

rna-seq

Small RNA-Seq has emerged as a powerful tool in transcriptomics, gene expression profiling and biomarker discovery. Sequencing cell-free nucleic acids, particularly microRNA (miRNA), from liquid biopsies additionally provides exciting possibilities for molecular diagnostics, and might help establish disease-specific biomarker signatures. ...

Flexible expressed region analysis for RNA-seq with derfinder

rna-seq

Differential expression analysis of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data typically relies on reconstructing transcripts or counting reads that overlap known gene structures. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University previously introduced an intermediate statistical approach called differentially expressed region (DER) finder that seeks ...

RNA-Seq with iReport and InSilico DB

rna-seq

RNA-Seq, or transcriptome sequencing, continues to be an exciting way to explore gene expression using next-generation sequencing (NGS). But for many researchers, the interpretation of RNA-Seq data remains a daunting task because they are using spreadsheets to read transcript names ...
