  • 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.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

      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...
