RNA-seq

12.3K
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...

  • To leverage knowledge of housekeeping genes for improved normalization accuracy.
  • To enhance the detection of differentially expressed genes.

Main Methods:

  • Formulated normalization as a hypothesis testing problem.
  • Employed housekeeping gene knowledge to determine an optimal scaling factor.
  • Minimized deviation between empirical and nominal type I error rates.

Main Results:

  • The novel method demonstrated higher accuracy and robustness in simulations.
