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...

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Real Time RT-PCR

Real Time RT-PCR

Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or Real-time RT-PCR, is an analytical tool used to determine the expression level of target genes. The method involves converting mRNA to complementary DNA with the help of an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, followed by the PCR amplification of the cDNA. These two processes can be performed simultaneously in a single tube or separately as a two-step reaction.
The real-time quantification of the number of amplified products is...

Background:

Accurate transcript expression estimation from RNA-seq data is crucial.
Probabilistic inference, particularly Bayesian methods, offers accurate transcript abundance estimates.
Existing approximate Bayesian inference methods can be slow for large datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, faster approximate inference scheme for RNA-seq data analysis.
To improve the speed and efficiency of transcript expression estimation using Variational Bayes (VB).

Main Methods:

A new approximate inference scheme based on Variational Bayes (VB) was developed.
Advances in VB algorithmics were used to enhance convergence beyond standard VB-EM.
The method was applied to simulated and biological RNA-seq datasets.

Main Results:

The novel VB algorithm significantly increased speed for RNA-seq analysis.
A very small loss in accuracy of expression level estimation was observed.
Comparative studies showed excellent accuracy and inter-replicate consistency against seven alternative methods.

Conclusions:

The proposed VB-based method provides a significant speed increase for RNA-seq analysis.
The algorithm maintains high accuracy and consistency, outperforming existing methods.
This approach offers a computationally efficient solution for transcript expression estimation.
