  • Pipeline for DESeq and annotation

    Hi, i am new to this and I would like to be able to feed my RNA data into the VST algorithm from DESeq, to normalize my data. But since there is so many different informations in here, I am not sure if I do it the right way, what I do is for each experiment/replicate:

    python tophat -p 8 -G genome.gtf -o output_dir genome.bt2 X1.fastq X2.fastq

    This generates a directory containing accepted_hits.bam

    I then sort this using

    Samtools sort –n input.bam out.sam

    I then run cufflinks and use the transcripts.gtf file

    cufflinks -p 8 -o newoutputDir outputdir/accepted_hits.bam

    To generate the list of counts I then do:

    htseq-count --stranded=no out.sam transcripts.gtf > output-htseq.txt

    which then gives me a list like this:

    CUFF.1 745
    CUFF.10 14
    CUFF.100 0
    CUFF.1000 1
    CUFF.10000 0
    CUFF.10001 1
    CUFF.10002 57


    Would this be a correct way of doing it? The output I get is just assigned to arbitrary values in the GTF file, and I have not been able to find that much about assigning the count values to gene identifiers, does anyone have any experience with that?

    What is your input.bam? is that accepted_hits.bam?

      Are you looking for new genes, or do you you want to look for differential expression of known and annotated genes?

      If the former: Well, a new gene will not have a name; after all, it is new.

      If the latter: What did you run 'cufflinks' for?

        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...
