Abstract In recent years, RNA-seq has emerged as a powerful technology in estimation of gene or transcript expression. ‘Union-exon’ and transcript based approaches are widely used in gene quantification. The ‘Union-exon’ based approach is simple, but it does not distinguish between isoforms when multiple alternatively spliced transcripts are expressed from the same gene. Because a gene is expressed in one or more transcript isoforms, the transcript based approach is more biologically meaningful than the ‘union exon’-based approach.

Here we characterize the nature of interactions between thyroid hormone and glucocorticoid signaling during Xenopus tropicalis metamorphosis.

The sequence of amino acids in a protein and hence protein function are determined by the genetic code. From http://www.geneticalliance.org.uk/glossary.htm#C • The building blocks of proteins, there are 20 different amino acids. From https://www.yourgenome.org/glossary/amino-acid Antisense: Antisense nucleotides are strings of RNA or DNA that are complementary to "sense" strands of nucleotides. They bind to and inactivate these sense strands. They have been used in research, and may become useful for therapy of certain diseases (See Gene silencing). From http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Antisense_DNA.aspx. Antisense and RNA interference are referred as gene knockdown technologies: the transcription of the gene is unaffected; however, gene expression, i.e. protein synthesis (translation), is lost because messenger RNA molecules become unstable or inaccessible. Furthermore, RNA interference is based on naturally occurring phenomenon known as Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing. From http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/probe/docs/applsilencing/ B Biobank: A biobank is a large, organised collection of samples, usually human, used for research. Biobanks catalogue and store samples using genetic, clinical, and other characteristics such as age, gender, blood type, and ethnicity. Some samples are also categorised according to environmental factors, such as whether the donor had been exposed to some substance that can affect health.

In addition, many of the chronic provides a global snapshot of tissue function. The diseases go through the cycles of relapse and human transcriptome varies with tissue type, remission, during which the genomic DNA does not developmental stage, environmental stimuli, and change.

  • Bioinformatic Pipelines for Whole Transcriptome Sequencing Data Exploitation in Leukemia Patients with Complex Structural Variants
    Bioinformatic pipelines for whole transcriptome sequencing data exploitation in leukemia patients with complex structural variants Jakub Hynst1,2, Karla Plevova1,2,3, Lenka Radova1, Vojtech Bystry1, Karol Pal1,2 and Sarka Pospisilova1,2,3 1 Central European Institute of Technology, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic 2 Department of Internal Medicine—Hematology and Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic 3 Department of Internal Medicine—Hematology and Oncology, University Hospital Brno, Brno, Czech Republic ABSTRACT Background. Extensive genome rearrangements, known as chromothripsis, have been recently identified in several cancer types. Chromothripsis leads to complex structural variants (cSVs) causing aberrant gene expression and the formation of de novo fusion genes, which can trigger cancer development, or worsen its clinical course. The functional impact of cSVs can be studied at the RNA level using whole transcriptome sequencing (total RNA-Seq). It represents a powerful tool for discovering, profiling, and quantifying changes of gene expression in the overall genomic context. However, bioinformatic analysis of transcriptomic data, especially in cases with cSVs, is a complex and challenging task, and the development of proper bioinformatic tools for transcriptome studies is necessary. Methods. We designed a bioinformatic workflow for the analysis of total RNA-Seq data Submitted 30 December 2018 consisting of two separate parts (pipelines): The first pipeline incorporates a statistical Accepted 6 May 2019 solution for differential gene expression analysis in a biologically heterogeneous sample Published 12 June 2019 set.

  • Improving Genome Assembly and Annotation Using Transcriptome Data Simo V
    Zhang et al. GigaScience (2016) 5:31 DOI 10.1186/s13742-016-0136-3 TECHNICAL NOTE Open Access AGOUTI: improving genome assembly and annotation using transcriptome data Simo V. Zhang1*, Luting Zhuo1 and Matthew W. Hahn1,2 Abstract Background: Genomes sequenced using short-read, next-generation sequencing technologies can have many errors and may be fragmented into thousands of small contigs. These incomplete and fragmented assemblies lead to errors in gene identification, such that single genes spread across multiple contigs are annotated as separate gene models. Such biases can confound inferences about the number and identity of genes within species, as well as gene gain and loss between species. Results: We present AGOUTI (Annotated Genome Optimization Using Transcriptome Information), a tool that uses RNA sequencing data to simultaneously combine contigs into scaffolds and fragmented gene models into single models. We show that AGOUTI improves both the contiguity of genome assemblies and the accuracy of gene annotation, providing updated versions of each as output. Running AGOUTI on both simulated and real datasets, we show that it is highly accurate and that it achieves greater accuracy and contiguity when compared with other existing methods. Conclusion: AGOUTI is a powerful and effective scaffolder and, unlike most scaffolders, is expected to be more effective in larger genomes because of the commensurate increase in intron length. AGOUTI is able to scaffold thousands of contigs while simultaneously reducing the number of gene models by hundreds or thousands. The software is available free of charge under the MIT license. Keywords: Genome assembly, Scaffolding, Genome annotation, RNA sequencing, RNA-seq Background equivalent to intron length.

This is distinctly true for non-model organisms, where no genome information is available; yet, studies of differential gene expression, DNA enrichment baits design, and phylogenetics can all be accomplished with the data gathered at the transcrip- tomic level. Multiple tools are available for transcriptome assembly, however, no single tool can provide the best assembly for all datasets. Therefore, a multi assembler approach, followed by a reduction step, is often sought to generate an improved representation of the assembly.

However, limitations in technology biased discovery toward protein coding spliced genes. Accurate high throughput long read RNA sequencing now has the potential to investigate genes that were previously undetectable. Using our Transcriptome Annotation by Modular Algorithms (TAMA) tool kit to analyze the Pacific Bioscience Universal Human Reference RNA Sequel II Iso-Seq dataset, we discovered thousands of potential novel genes and identified challenges in both RNA preparation and long read data processing that have major implications for transcriptome annotation.
