    should RNA-seq use monoclonal reads

    hi, guys, I was wondering what's your take on this. Tophat will accept reads that are mapped up to 20 locations and take a fraction for each location. Well, this could be helpful to identify homologous genes, but also create a lots artifact. Do you think we should stay with reads that mapped only once in the genome?

    That's not "monoclonal" reads, but rather "multi-mapping" reads.

    Personally I think it is too restrictive to require unique mappings in RNA-seq. It's a matter of taste as well as organism + application.

      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

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
