The analysis of modular gene co-expression networks is a well-established method commonly used for discovering the systems-level functionality of genes. In addition, these studies provide a basis for the discovery of clinically relevant molecular pathways underlying different diseases and conditions. ...

One limitation of the widely used RNA-seq method is that long transcripts are represented by more reads than shorter transcripts, resulting in a biased estimation of expression levels. The 3′ RNA-seq method, which yields only one sequence per transcript, bypasses ...

A plethora of non-coding RNAs has been discovered using high-resolution transcriptomics tools, indicating that transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation is much more complex than previously appreciated. Small RNAs associated with transcription start sites of annotated coding regions (TSSaRNAs) are pervasive in ...
