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...

Next-generation Sequencing

Next-generation Sequencing

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Background:

Long-read (LR) sequencing offers cost-effective RNA analysis but lacks gold-standard datasets for tool benchmarking.
Existing LR simulators do not fully capture crucial library preparation steps like PCR and are difficult to adapt to new techniques such as single-cell LR sequencing.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a flexible and scalable simulator for long-read (LR) sequencing data.
To address the limitations of existing simulators by incorporating modularity for various RNA modification steps.

Main Methods:

TKSM employs a modular design where each RNA modification step is handled by a dedicated module.
The simulator utilizes a standardized input/output format (Molecule Description Format) for core modules.
Users can assemble custom simulation pipelines by combining TKSM modules to mimic specific sequencing designs.

Main Results:

TKSM provides a modular and scalable platform for simulating long-read (LR) sequencing data.
The simulator explicitly models various RNA modification steps, enhancing simulation accuracy.
Its design facilitates easy extension with new modules for emerging library preparation techniques.

Conclusions:

TKSM offers a flexible and extensible solution for simulating long-read (LR) sequencing data.
The modular approach allows for accurate emulation of diverse sequencing protocols and library preparation steps.
This open-source simulator will aid in the development and benchmarking of transcriptomic analysis tools.
