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...

To improve the scalability and efficiency of RNA-seq processing pipelines.

Main Methods:

Developed Falco, a cloud-based framework utilizing Apache Hadoop and Spark.
Implemented parallelization of existing RNA-seq alignment and feature quantification pipelines.
Tested Falco on two public scRNA-seq datasets.

Main Results:

Falco achieved 2.6-145.4 times faster processing compared to optimized standalone computers.
Demonstrated significant speed improvements using two popular RNA-seq pipelines.
Enabled cost reduction of approximately 65% by using cloud spot instances.

Conclusions:

Falco offers a scalable and cost-effective solution for analyzing large scRNA-seq datasets.
The framework accelerates transcriptomic data processing through parallelization.
Falco enhances the efficiency of biomedical studies utilizing scRNA-seq data.
