RNA-seq is currently considered the most powerful, robust and adaptable technique for measuring gene expression and transcription activation at genome-wide level. As the analysis of RNA-seq data is complex, it has prompted a large amount of research on algorithms and ...

Huntington’s disease (HD) is characterized by hypomyelination and neuronal loss. To assess the basis for myelin loss in HD, we generated bipotential glial progenitor cells (GPCs) from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) derived from mutant Huntingtin (mHTT) embryos or normal ...

This study developed a Bayesian-based method for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in which RNA-seq-based measures of transcript accumulation are used as explanatory variables (eRD-GWAS). The ability of eRD-GWAS to identify true associations between gene expression variation and phenotypic diversity is ...
