  • Differential Expression Analysis

    I am working with novel RNAseq data from a type of grass whose genome has not yet been completely sequenced or annotated. I have a number of FASTQ files with RNAseq data from different parts of the plant and am trying to conduct a differential expression analysis of these files. I was planning to use the DEGseq package in R to conduct the analysis, but from what I understand, this requires me to map the reads to an index to ultimately convert them to the .bed format and I would also need a reference genome file in the ucsc refFlat format. Since this plant genome has not even been sequenced, these files are unavailable, so I thought to map the reads to the genome of brachypodium distachyon, which is a model organism for grasses. I was able to create an index through bowtie using the genome from phytozome, but I have not been able to find a reference file for brachypodium in the reFlat or GTF format. Is there any way to convert to or create a reference file in the GTF or refFlat format, and am I even on the right track to conduct differential expression analysis on these files?
    I also have access to the original RNA assembly data which came from an illumina HiSeq. I'm not sure if this would be helpful.

    I don't know much about plants, but it sounds like you might want to try to build de novo transcriptome assembly - https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...14662817301032

      Use supertranscripts as your reference genome:

        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...
