RNA-seq Analysis Workshop Course Materials

Jit — Tue, 03 Jul 2018 08:14:14 -0500

RNAseq can be roughly divided into two "types": Reference genome-based - an assembled genome exists for a species for which an RNAseq experiment is performed. It allows reads to be aligned against the reference genome and significantly improves our ability to reconstruct transcripts. This category would obviously include humans and most model organisms but excludes the majority of truly biologically intereting species (e.g., Hyacinth macaw); Reference genome-free - no genome assembly for the species of interest is available. In this case one would need to assemble the reads into transcripts using de novo approaches. This type of RNAseq is as much of an art as well as science because assembly is heavily parameter-dependent and difficult to do well. In this lesson we will focus on the Reference genome-based type of RNA seq. http://chagall.med.cornell.edu/RNASEQcourse/

Platypus: A Haplotype-Based Variant Caller For Next Generation Sequence Data

Shruti Paniwala — Thu, 25 Oct 2018 06:14:55 -0500

Platypus is a tool designed for efficient and accurate variant-detection in high-throughput sequencing data. By using local realignment of reads and local assembly it achieves both high sensitivity and high specificity. Platypus can detect SNPs, MNPs, short indels, replacements and (using the assembly option) deletions up to several kb. It has been extensively tested on whole-genome, exon-capture, and targeted capture data, it has been run on very large datasets as part of the Thousand Genomes and WGS500 projects, and is being used in clinical sequencing trials in the Mainstreaming Cancer Genetics programme.
