Strand NGS now supports large scale RNA- and small-RNA-Seq and Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs) for DNA-, RNA-, and small-RNA-Seq.

Strand Life Sciences announced the latest version release of its bioinformatics flagship product, Strand NGS, at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics today. Two major themes in Strand NGS v3.1 address recent challenges in next generation sequencing (NGS).

The first theme is large-scale RNA-Seq data analysis. Current cross-cohort RNA- and small-RNA-Seq studies span tens of replicates and batches across hundreds of samples, sometimes conducted across several different institutions. For such studies, Strand NGS v3.1 includes confounding variable analysis to eliminate technical effects, including batch effects; the t-SNE plot; profile and heat-map plots of gene-body coverage; and several other notable visual enhancements.

The second new feature is support for Unique Molecular Identifiers, or UMIs, for DNA-, RNA- and small-RNA-Seq. UMI support in Strand NGS is end-to-end, spanning alignment to variant calling in DNA-Seq, and alignment to quantification in RNA- and small-RNA-Seq. The Bioo Scientific, Qiagen, and Rubicon UMI protocols are natively supported, and an intuitive interface allows the specification of custom UMI protocols.

“For liquid biopsies and low-grade FFPE samples, UMI support in DNA-Seq enables the detection of somatic variants at low concentrations. In RNA-Seq, large-scale and UMI support can be used in single-cell-based studies that reveal tumor-cell heterogeneity, even at low concentrations”, says Dr. Vamsi Veeramachaneni, Chief Scientific Officer, Strand Life Sciences.

“At Strand, we are continuously working towards improving the accuracy and efficiency of NGS data analysis. Customers can look forward to Strand NGS becoming available on the cloud in the near future”, says Dr. Ramesh Hariharan, Chief Executive Officer, Strand Life Sciences.

About 8,000 years ago, the gene EGLN1 changed by a single DNA base pair. Today, a relatively short time later on the scale of human history, 88 percent of Tibetans have the genetic variation, and it was virtually absent from closely related lowland Asians. The findings indicate the genetic variation endows its carriers with an advantage.

In those without the adaptation, low oxygen caused their blood to become thick with oxygen-carrying red blood cells, an attempt to feed starved tissues, which could cause long-term complications such as heart failure. The researchers found that the newly identified genetic variation protected Tibetans by decreasing the over-response to low oxygen.

Orthology relations can be used to transfer annotations from one gene (or protein) to another. Hence, detecting orthology relations has become an important task in the post-genomic era. Various genomic events, such as duplication and horizontal gene transfer, can cause erroneous assignment of orthology relations. In closely-related species, gene neighborhood information can be used to resolve many ambiguities in orthology inference. Here we present OrthoGNC, a software for accurately predicting pairwise orthology relations based on gene neighborhood conservation. Analyses on simulated and real data reveal the high accuracy of OrthoGNC. In addition to orthology detection, OrthoGNC can be employed to investigate the conservation of genomic context among potential orthologs detected by other methods. OrthoGNC is freely available online at http://bs.ipm.ir/softwares/orthognc and http://tinyurl.com/orthoGNC.

1.Stupid for biologist: Biology is so complex that it will make bioinformatician feel stupid. There are no any universal fixed rules; it can surprise you any time. So be nice to biologists who ask questions and resolve your biological puzzles. Sometime you will have no idea what the hell you were doing either.

2.Puzzling why: Do not hesitate to ask question. Especially. at the beginning of project you will have to ask a lot of questions. Instead of puzzling it out at end check out and clear your doubt even for a single error. It may can leads to wrong conclusion.

3.Running marathon: The most of the biological software’s documentation is always incomplete. In other word they are no more than 95 percent complete. Sometime a single problem can halt your entire project for months. Compilation and running the pipelines in tedious because almost all are interdependent and need proper configuration. I face the same kind of problem with Evolver :( …

4.Folders missing: The pipelines generate lots of data, and we keep them in several folders for future use. But sometime we delete them by mistake and move to recovery…

5.Digging deeper: Digging deeper is fruitful, but some time it can be catastrophic. You may get frustrated or direction less. So keep a biologist with you for rescue …. Sometime an expert computer programmer to handle your server. Remember, the server will always go down when you need it the most.

The most common frustrating  common line: Why do we do this again?
