Hello,
I have non-unique tags in Gro-seq data. Should I remove redundant tags and work with the unique tags?
Please suggest.

This depends on what you are planning to do with the data. If you are interested in comparing read counts between two libraries, you can't say much about non-unique reads with respect to a distinct location of the genome. Those reads could have been generated by any of the hundreds or thousands of locations where the repeated sequence resides in the genome.
Maybe someone knows of a more statistically clever way of calculating the probability that a "non-unique" read from a GRO-seq library (i.e., run-on transcription-based, not standard RNA-seq libraries) comes from any one unique location in the genome, but I do not.

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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
