The attachment of unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) to RNA molecules prior to PCR amplification and sequencing, makes it possible to amplify...

Quantitative analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data requires discriminating duplicate reads generated by PCR from identical molecules that are of unique origin. Typically, PCR duplicates are identified as sequence reads that align to the same genomic coordinates using reference-based alignment. ...

The recent development of sensitive protocols allows to generate RNA-seq libraries of single cells. The throughput of such scRNA-seq protocols is rapidly increasing, enabling the profiling of tens of thousands of cells and opening exciting possibilities to analyse cellular identities. ...
