  • New to Bioinformatics following sequencing

    Hello all,

    I'm a first year graduate student and just picked/joined my thesis lab. I have a bunch of illumina DNA sequencing data for both genome assembly and ChIP-Seq-like experiments. Im completely new to the computational aspects in these approaches - e.g. I have recently taught myself to move around in a Unix environment and my only achievement so far was to run fastQC on the sequence reads. Also, I have been working toward learning python.

    What I would like to do next is align reads (ChIP-seq type experiment) to a human reference genome. Should I use MAQ? Bowtie? BWA?

    How about peak callers? PeakSeq?

    In the future I will also be dealing with RNA-seq data for both transcriptome assemblies and differential expression analyses. Any help here would also be welcome. e.g. how does one take RNA-seq data from two different tissues through the analysis pipeline and end up with those nice log-log plots?

    Many many thanks,

    Sciara C.

    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...
