  • Combination of paired-end and single-end samples in Chip-seq TF study

    I have 2 batches of chip-seq samples:

    (A) One biological SE replicate

    This batch, actually, consists of 4 SE Chip-seq samples - one treatment, one control, both have IP controls. All are SE sequenced at a lab A

    (B) Two biological PE replicates

    This batch consists of 8 PE Chip-Seq samples - 2 treatment, 2 controls, all have IP controls. All are PE sequenced at a lab B.

    The idea is to establish differential binding between the treatment and the controls. I plan to use macs and diffbind but I am open to suggestions.

    My first specific question is how to treat the PE samples. I see 3 options:

    (1) Treat all forward and reverse reads as SE reads

    (2) Take just the forward or the reverse reads

    (3) Treat each PE sample as, essentially, 2 technical replicates (one consisting of forward reads, one of reverse)

    I find (3) intuitively attractive but, again, I am open to suggestions. If I go for it than the model would need to introduce 2 additional factors - one accounting for the technical replicates, another for the batch effect. So far I have dealt with batch effects only - I presume that adding additional factor shall be straight-forward but, please, let me know if there are things that I need to pay attention to.

    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...
