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.

Genetic control of resistance to salmonellosis and to Salmonella carrier-state in fowl: a review.

TL;DR: This article reviews the main Salmonella infection models and chicken lines studied under a historical perspective and then the candidate genes and QTL identified so far, indicating the possibility of a common genetic control for different models.

Bird Species : How They Arise, Modify and Vanish

TL;DR: Only if humans leave more room and time to birds and other organisms can be expected to maintain such a number of diverse bird species, although they will keep modifying, splitting, and becoming extinct—but for natural reasons.

Genome-Wide Transcriptome Analysis Reveals that Cadmium Stress Signaling Controls the Expression of Genes in Drought Stress Signal Pathways in Rice

TL;DR: A new transcriptional network linking Cd and drought stresses in rice is demonstrated, which provides useful information for further studies of the molecular mechanisms of plant adaptation to Cd exposure and the improvement of tolerance in crop species.

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.

Serial analysis of gene expression

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

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.
