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...

Bioinformatics
Machine Learning

Background:

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) enables cell population identification via unsupervised clustering.
Subtle transcriptomic differences and high data dimensionality pose challenges for identifying cell subpopulations.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce ILoReg, an R package for enhanced cell population identification.
Improve the detection of cell subpopulations with subtle transcriptomic variations.

Main Methods:

Implement a novel machine learning algorithm, iterative clustering projection (ICP), for probabilistic feature extraction.
Utilize logistic regression and clustering similarity comparison within ICP for iterative data clustering.
Integrate feature selection with clustering using L1-regularization for differential gene identification.

Main Results:

ILoReg enhances the identification of cell populations with subtle transcriptomic differences.
The iterative clustering projection (ICP) method effectively extracts probabilistic features.
ILoReg visualization clearly segregates immune and pancreatic cell populations, outperforming existing methods.

Conclusions:

ILoReg provides a high-resolution representation for investigating cell populations.
The package facilitates the discovery of genes differentially expressed between cell populations.
ILoReg offers a powerful tool for scRNA-seq data analysis, improving cell subpopulation resolution.
