Identification of Alternative Splicing and Polyadenylation in RNA-seq Data

Alternative splicing (AS) and alternative polyadenylation (APA) expand the diversity of transcript isoforms and their products. Here, we describe bioinformatic protocols to analyze bulk RNA-seq and 3' end sequencing assays to detect and visualize AS and APA varying across experimental...

Genetic Variant Detection in the CALR gene using High Resolution Melting Analysis

High resolution melting analysis (HRM) is a sensitive and rapid solution for genetic variant detection. It depends on sequence differences that result in heteroduplexes changing the shape of the melting curve. By combing HRM and agarose gel electrophoresis, different types of genetic variants such as indels can be...

Determining the Likelihood of Variant Pathogenicity Using Amino Acid-level Signal-to-Noise Analysis of Genetic Variation07:15

Determining the Likelihood of Variant Pathogenicity Using Amino Acid-level Signal-to-Noise Analysis of Genetic Variation

Amino acid-level signal-to-noise analysis determines the prevalence of genetic variation at a given amino acid position normalized to background genetic variation of a given population. This allows for identification of variant "hotspots" within a protein sequence (signal) that rises above the frequency of rare variants found in a population...
