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:

Post-sequencing quality control is vital for RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data integrity.
Existing RNA-seq quality control tools struggle to scale for large sample cohorts (hundreds to tens of thousands).
Current tools are not optimized for the variety of sample types and qualities encountered in large-scale studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce RNA-SeQC 2, an efficient reimplementation of the RNA-SeQC tool.
To enhance RNA-seq data quality assessment for large-scale genomic studies.
To provide a scalable solution for characterizing sample quality across diverse RNA-seq protocols.

Main Methods:

Reimplementation of the original RNA-SeQC tool in C++ for improved efficiency.
Development of multiple new metrics for comprehensive sample quality characterization.
Command-line tool design for integration into large-scale bioinformatics pipelines.

Main Results:

RNA-SeQC 2 demonstrates efficient performance on large RNA-seq datasets.
The tool provides a wider range of quality metrics suitable for various sample types.
Successful characterization of sample quality across diverse RNA-seq protocols.

Conclusions:

RNA-SeQC 2 is a scalable and efficient tool for RNA-seq quality control in large cohorts.
The enhanced metrics improve the ability to assess sample quality for diverse RNA-seq applications.
This tool facilitates more reliable RNA-seq data generation and analysis.
