  • Advice on using sailfish-cir's output to justify circular RNA (circRNA)

    Hi,

    I have a problem trying to focus on a specific gene to study for circRNA.

    In my work, I have both control and diseased condition. I generated circRNA from circular RNA identifier (CIRI2) as well as "quantified" it with sailfish-cir for each condition. From my understanding, CIRI2 presents results based on gene level (Ensembl gene ID), and feature them in terms of coordinates. Sailfish-cir presents results based on transcript level. So their IDs are Ensembl transcript's. But a gene ID can have multiple transcript ID. So how does one consider which transcript to focus on? Rather, how does one make the comparison, or focus on which genes?

    Another question is how does one interpret the TPM value presented in sailfish-cir? Does it mean a proportion of both circRNA and linear fragments per million transcripts? So if the disease has like a value of 5 for TPM and the control has 2, what does it really mean? How does one say it in layman terms?

    Thank you.

    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...
