  • Salmon's strategy for aggregating transcripts into gene level

    I am new in the field on RNA-Seq analysis and trying to understand the methodology behind Salmon's aggregation of transcripts into gene level.

    From the forum https://github.com/COMBINE-lab/salmon/issues/98 The answer is "Salmon's aggregation strategy is to collect the transcript-level abundances and then aggregate them to the gene level (this means summing the counts / TPMs, and doing an abundance weighted combination of the lengths / effective lengths)." However, I was not able to understand is properly.

    can someone explain it in detail for this example where the quantification at transcript level and its aggregated output at gene level are shown?

    Moreover, I will like to know how it is different from simplesum_avetxl used in Tximport mentioned in the paper "Differential analyses for RNA-seq: transcript-level estimates improve gene-level inferences"?

    In addition, will it be wrong to use "quant.genes.sf" instead of "quants.sf" as input for Tximport? if yes, then why?

    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...
