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...

Area of Science:

Computational Biology
Genomics
Bioinformatics

Background:

High-throughput sequencing, particularly RNA-seq, is crucial for transcriptome analysis.
Existing methods often analyze single RNA-seq samples independently, overlooking cross-sample read distribution consistency.
Accurate isoform expression estimation is vital for understanding gene regulation and function.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel method, SSRSeq, for estimating isoform expression from multi-sample RNA-seq data.
To leverage consistent read distribution patterns across multiple samples for improved accuracy.
To enhance the robustness of expression estimation for lowly expressed genes and isoforms.

Main Methods:

Proposed Structured Sparse Regression for RNA-seq (SSRSeq) method.
Utilized a non-parametric model to capture gene-wide read distribution tendencies across samples.
Incorporated structured sparse regularization to account for gene-isoform relationships and reduce noise.

Main Results:

SSRSeq demonstrated reduced variance in expression estimates across multiple samples compared to existing methods.
Achieved more accurate isoform expression estimations on four real RNA-seq datasets.
Improved biological interpretations derived from the expression data.

Conclusions:

SSRSeq offers a more accurate and robust approach to isoform expression estimation from multi-sample RNA-seq data.
The method effectively utilizes cross-sample information and handles noisy data, particularly for low-expression features.
SSRSeq provides a valuable tool for advancing transcriptome analysis and biological discovery.
