RNA-seq

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases.
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while microarray-based...

Next-generation Sequencing

Next-generation Sequencing

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features.

Sanger Sequencing

Sanger Sequencing

DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Area of Science:

Genomics
Molecular Biology
Bioinformatics

Background:

Understanding DNA-protein interactions is essential for deciphering transcriptional regulation.
Chromatin-immunoprecipitation followed by massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) is the standard for genome-wide interaction analysis.
Existing ChIP-seq analysis often involves multiple, separate command-line tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a comprehensive software system, CASSys, for streamlined ChIP-seq data analysis.
To integrate all stages of ChIP-seq analysis, from quality control to advanced follow-up analyses.
To provide an accessible, web-based interface for interactive data exploration.

Main Methods:

CASSys integrates quality assessment, read mapping, and peak detection for ChIP-seq data.
The system offers interactive follow-up analyses including gene association, motif detection, and pathway analysis.
CASSys is a client-server based system accessible via a web browser without client-side installation.

Main Results:

CASSys successfully processed a publicly available ChIP-seq study on estrogen receptor-α in breast cancer cells.
The system demonstrated comprehensive functionality across all ChIP-seq data analysis steps.
Interactive analyses enabled flexible exploration of genomic context, gene ontology terms, and interaction networks.

Conclusions:

CASSys provides a unified and user-friendly platform for ChIP-seq data analysis.
The software simplifies complex analyses, making genome-wide interaction studies more accessible.
CASSys facilitates deeper understanding of transcriptional regulation by integrating diverse analytical approaches.
