Analysis of Allele Specific Expression using RNA-seq DataProject Project Start Date: Winter 2016 Project Description: Recently developed sequencing technologies allow for the identification of a higher level of expression of one copy of a chromosome compared to the other copy. ...

Accurate identification of genetic variants such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or RNA editing sites from RNA-Seq reads is important, yet challenging, because it necessitates a very low false positive rate in read mapping. Although many read aligners are available, ...

UCLA biologists take a deep dive into ‘big data’ to research roots of disease By Beau Yarbrough, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin LOS ANGELES >> For centuries, biology was limited by the available tools. Biologists had to be able to collect, ...

A Brief History of Sequencing and Gene Expression. Tag Based Sequencing Approaches Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) Massively parallel signature sequence (MPSS)

High throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) can generate whole transcriptome information at the single transcript level providing a powerful tool with multiple interrelated applications including transcriptome reconstruction and quantification. The sequences of novel transcripts can be reconstructed from deep RNA-Seq data, ...
