RNA-Seq: a revolutionary tool for transcriptomics
TLDR
The RNA-Seq approach to transcriptome profiling that uses deep-sequencing technologies provides a far more precise measurement of levels of transcripts and their isoforms than other methods.Abstract:
RNA-Seq is a recently developed approach to transcriptome profiling that uses deep-sequencing technologies. Studies using this method have already altered our view of the extent and complexity of eukaryotic transcriptomes. RNA-Seq also provides a far more precise measurement of levels of transcripts and their isoforms than other methods. This article describes the RNA-Seq approach, the challenges associated with its application, and the advances made so far in characterizing several eukaryote transcriptomes.read more

Genomic views of distant-acting enhancers
TL;DR: Distant-acting transcriptional enhancers — a major category of functional non-coding DNA — are involved in many developmental and disease-relevant processes and genome-wide approaches to their discovery and functional characterization provide a growing knowledge base for the systematic exploration of their role in human biology and disease susceptibility.

Dual RNA-seq of pathogen and host
TL;DR: The feasibility of taking transcriptomics one step further by performing 'dual RNA-seq', in which gene expression changes in both the pathogen and the host are analysed simultaneously, is assessed.

Coping with Stresses: Roles of Calcium- and Calcium/Calmodulin-Regulated Gene Expression
TL;DR: Recent progress in this area with emphasis on the roles of Ca2+- and Ca2-/Ca2+/CaM-regulated transcription in stress responses is reviewed, emerging paradigms in the field are discussed, the areas that need further investigation are highlighted, and some promising novel high-throughput tools are presented.

Mapping and quantifying mammalian transcriptomes by RNA-Seq.
TL;DR: Although >90% of uniquely mapped reads fell within known exons, the remaining data suggest new and revised gene models, including changed or additional promoters, exons and 3′ untranscribed regions, as well as new candidate microRNA precursors.

TL;DR: Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) should provide a broadly applicable means for the quantitative cataloging and comparison of expressed genes in a variety of normal, developmental, and disease states.

Mapping short DNA sequencing reads and calling variants using mapping quality scores
Heng Li,Jue Ruan,Richard Durbin +2 more
TL;DR: This work describes the software MAQ, software that can build assemblies by mapping shotgun short reads to a reference genome, using quality scores to derive genotype calls of the consensus sequence of a diploid genome, e.g., from a human sample.

RNA-seq: An assessment of technical reproducibility and comparison with gene expression arrays
TL;DR: It is found that the Illumina sequencing data are highly replicable, with relatively little technical variation, and thus, for many purposes, it may suffice to sequence each mRNA sample only once (i.e., using one lane).

SOAP: short oligonucleotide alignment program
TL;DR: The program SOAP is designed to handle the huge amounts of short reads generated by parallel sequencing using the new generation Illumina-Solexa sequencing technology, which supports multi-threaded parallel computing and has a batch module for multiple query sets.
