HTSeq—a Python framework to work with high-throughput sequencing data
TLDR
This work presents HTSeq, a Python library to facilitate the rapid development of custom scripts for high-throughput sequencing data analysis, and presents htseq-count, a tool developed with HTSequ that preprocesses RNA-Seq data for differential expression analysis by counting the overlap of reads with genes.Abstract:
Motivation: A large choice of tools exists for many standard tasks in the analysis of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data. However, once a project deviates from standard workflows, custom scripts are needed. Results: We present HTSeq, a Python library to facilitate the rapid development of such scripts. HTSeq offers parsers for many common data formats in HTS projects, as well as classes to represent data, such as genomic coordinates, sequences, sequencing reads, alignments, gene model information and variant calls, and provides data structures that allow for querying via genomic coordinates. We also present htseq-count, a tool developed with HTSeq that preprocesses RNA-Seq data for differential expression analysis by counting the overlap of reads with genes. Availability and implementation: HTSeq is released as an opensource software under the GNU General Public Licence and available from http://www-huber.embl.de/HTSeq or from the Python Package Index at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/HTSeq.

Human oocyte developmental potential is predicted by mechanical properties within hours after fertilization

TL;DR: It is reported that zygote viscoelastic properties can predict blastocyst formation in humans and mice within hours after fertilization, and there are significant differences between the transcriptomes of viable and non-viable zygotes, especially in expression of genes important for oocyte maturation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HP is ongoing in lymphoreplete mice, the degree of which is dictated by the number of naive CD8 T cells with a sufficiently high affinity for self-antigen interacting with peripheral IL-15, and a VM-like population of human cells that accumulate with age and traffic to the liver is shown.

RNA-dependent RNA targeting by CRISPR-Cas9
TL;DR: It is shown that Cas9 enzymes from both subtypes II-A and II-C can recognize and cleave single-stranded RNA by an RNA-guided mechanism that is independent of a protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) sequence in the target RNA.

TL;DR: IFN-κ is identified as a critical IFN in CLE pathology via promotion of enhanced IFN responses and photosensitivity and is a potential novel target for UVB prophylaxis and CLE-directed therapy.

Metatranscriptome analyses indicate resource partitioning between diatoms in the field
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use quantitative metatranscriptome analyses to examine pathways of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) metabolism in diatoms that cooccur regularly in an estuary on the east coast of the United States (Narragansett Bay).

Moderated estimation of fold change and dispersion for RNA-seq data with DESeq2
TL;DR: This work presents DESeq2, a method for differential analysis of count data, using shrinkage estimation for dispersions and fold changes to improve stability and interpretability of estimates, which enables a more quantitative analysis focused on the strength rather than the mere presence of differential expression.

TL;DR: SAMtools as discussed by the authors implements various utilities for post-processing alignments in the SAM format, such as indexing, variant caller and alignment viewer, and thus provides universal tools for processing read alignments.

Trimmomatic: a flexible trimmer for Illumina sequence data
TL;DR: Timmomatic is developed as a more flexible and efficient preprocessing tool, which could correctly handle paired-end data and is shown to produce output that is at least competitive with, and in many cases superior to, that produced by other tools, in all scenarios tested.

edgeR: a Bioconductor package for differential expression analysis of digital gene expression data.
TL;DR: EdgeR as mentioned in this paper is a Bioconductor software package for examining differential expression of replicated count data, which uses an overdispersed Poisson model to account for both biological and technical variability and empirical Bayes methods are used to moderate the degree of overdispersion across transcripts, improving the reliability of inference.
