  • Query individuals with both WGS and RNA-Seq data

    Using the SRAdb R package, I am looking to query individuals who possess both WGS and RNA-Seq data on the Sequence Read Archive. So far I believe I have been able to query specific samples with both WGS and RNA-Seq experiments, however a specific sample, provided by the sample_accession, is not exactly what I'm looking for.

    For example: I'm interested in finding human data in which one human was used to derive WGS data, and several tissues from that same human were used to derive RNA-Seq data.

    Is there any easy way to accomplish this using SQL and/or R?

    So far, this is my approach to identify samples that have both WGS and RNA-Seq data, using the local database, SRAmetadb.sqlite:

    Code:
    con <- dbConnect(SQLite(),'SRAmetadb.sqlite')
    query <- dbGetQuery(con,
                        paste(
                              "SELECT
                                sample.sample_accession,
                                sample.scientific_name,
                                experiment.experiment_accession,
                                experiment.library_strategy
                              FROM sample
                              JOIN experiment ON
                                sample.sample_accession = experiment.sample_accession
                              WHERE experiment.library_strategy in ('WGS','RNA-Seq')
                              GROUP by sample.sample_accession
                              HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT experiment.library_strategy) = 2"
                            )
                        )
    With this approach, I can see query contains 181 human samples that have at least one WGS experiment and one RNA-Seq experiment. That's great, but I feel I must be missing out on data that came from different samples but the same individuals.

    Of course, I am not only interested in querying data from the SRA, if other databases are more appropriate for this task

    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...

    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...
