  • 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

    Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
    by seqadmin


    The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

    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...
