  • cross species RNA-seq/orthologs

    Dear Forum,

    I am completely new to RNA-seq analysis so would be very appreciative of any advice regarding my query.

    I have multiple RNA-seq samples from two closely related species, and would like to identify differentially expressed orthologous genes.

    Is a correct approach to first identify orthologs between the two species using OrthoMCL, annotate those orthologs using (?), align all RNA-seq samples to the orthologs using bowtie2/tophat2, and assemble transcripts and identify differentially expressed transcripts using cufflinks and cuffdiff?

    Thank you for your help and advice!
    Kate

    Do you have a genome ? Where do you get your sequences from if not, transcript de novo assemblies ?

    I would suggest proteinortho instead of orthomcl, as it is simpler in my experience.

    I would use STAR instead of tophat2 if possible, featureCounts for read counting and edgeR/DEseq2 for DE analysis if it all works out.

      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...
