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...

Background:

Gene set analysis identifies gene sets correlated with outcomes like disease status.
Ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) is increasingly used for gene expression studies.
RNA-seq data presents unique challenges for gene set analysis due to gene length-correlated expression measures, causing potential bias.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel method for gene set analysis tailored for RNA-seq data.
To address and adjust for the inherent gene length bias in RNA-seq.
To enhance the power and reliability of gene set analysis in the context of RNA-seq.

Main Methods:

Developed SeqGSA, an extension of the R package GSA, incorporating length bias adjustment.
Implemented a flexible weighted sampling scheme within the restandardization step.
Compared gene set maxmean statistics against permutations, considering inter-gene set statistics.

Main Results:

SeqGSA demonstrated improved power in identifying significant gene sets affected by length bias.
The method maintained type I error rates when compared to other gene set enrichment tests.
SeqGSA effectively adjusts for gene length bias inherent in RNA-seq data.

Conclusions:

SeqGSA is a valuable tool for analyzing gene pathways using RNA-seq data.
The method successfully adjusts for gene length effects, enhancing detection power.
SeqGSA maintains statistical rigor (Type I error control) across various scenarios.
