In recent years, the publication of genome sequences for the Chinese hamster and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines has facilitated study of these biopharmaceutical cell factories with unprecedented resolution. Our understanding of the CHO cell transcriptome, in particular, has ...

Normalization is an essential step with considerable impact on high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data analysis. Although there are numerous methods for read count normalization, it remains a challenge to choose an optimal method due to multiple factors contributing to read ...

RNA-seq has emerged as a powerful technology for the detection of differential gene expression in the transcriptome. The commonly used statistical methods for RNA-seq differential expression analysis were designed for individual genes, which may detect too many irrelevant significantly genes ...

Differential gene expression (DGE) analysis is a technique to identify statistically significant differences in RNA abundance for genes or arbitrary features between different biological states. The result of a DGE test is typically further analyzed using statistical software, spreadsheets or ...

RNA-seq experiments are usually carried out in three or fewer replicates. In order to work well with so few samples, Differential Gene Expression (DGE) tools typically assume the form of the underlying distribution of gene expression. A recent highly replicated ...

With the decreased cost of RNA-Seq, an increasing number of non-model organisms have been sequenced. Due to the lack of reference genomes, de novo transcriptome assembly is required. However, there is limited systematic research evaluating the quality of de novo ...

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) can be used to assemble spliced isoforms, quantify expressed genes and provide a global profile of the transcriptome. However, the size and diversity of the transcriptome, the wide dynamic range in gene expression and inherent technical biases ...

The recent advances in next generation sequencing technology have made the sequencing of RNA (i.e., RNA-Seq) an extemely popular approach for gene expression analysis. Identification of significant differential expression represents a crucial initial step in these analyses, on which most ...

Carefully designed control experiments provide a gold standard for benchmarking new platforms, protocols and pipelines in genomics research. RNA profiling control studies frequently use the mixture design, which takes two distinct samples and combines them in known proportions to induce ...

RNA-seq based on short reads generated by next generation sequencing technologies has become the main approach to study differential gene expression. Until now, the main applications of this technique have been to study the variation of gene expression in a ...
