  • FPKM/RPKM cut-off question

    I have got FPKM and some genes have really low FPKM and I am going to do stat analysis for all the genes; my question is the analysis should be like microArray analysis and need some cut-off numbers? any suggestion for this?

    You could implement an approach like the one described in this paper: http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/...l.pcbi.1000598 in order to estimate the background RPKM/FPKM and arrive at a cutoff. It's based on looking at false positive and false negative rates based on a set of known genes and a set of control regions for which there is no evidence that they are being expressed.

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
