    shiny_cuffdiff: On-the-fly interrogation and plotting of gene expression results

    Hi all. I'd like to introduce the community to shiny_cuffdiff



    Put simply, this code uses the outputs of the Tuxedo workflow (Tophat2 > Cufflinks > Cuffdiff) which is a cuffdiff SQL database file called cuffdiff.db. Then, using the R package cummeRbund, various plots and outputs are created on-the fly.

    shiny_cuffdiff consists of two Shiny apps:

    gene_expression_panel_cuffdiff:

    Takes a cuffdiff database (rebuilding if required) and displays information on a single named gene (as defined by the gene short name or the XLOC number). After the gene information is defined, gene expression plots can be restricted by sample.

    gene_comparison_panel_cuffdiff:

    Takes a cuffdiff database (rebuilding if required) and displays information on a set of named genes (as defined by the gene short name or the XLOC number). Displays a heatmap and a barplot. After the gene information is defined, gene expression plots can be restricted by sample.

    This project is at an early phase of development, but is under active development.

    Participants (either users, testers, or code developers) are encouraged!


    We are also developing Shiny code to interrogate the outputs of other common gene expression / differential expression workflows (initially starting with DESeq2), which will be published as a separate repository.

    This was also posted in the Bioinformatics forum, but I think it is also relevant here. Moderators: feel free to remove this if that's not appropriate.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
