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.

Comparison of stranded and non-stranded RNA-seq transcriptome profiling and investigation of gene overlap

TL;DR: Because stranded RNA-seq retains strand information of a read, it can resolve read ambiguity in overlapping genes transcribed from opposite strands, which provides a more accurate quantification of gene expression levels compared with traditional non-strandedRNA-seq.

Predictive biophysical modeling and understanding of the dynamics of mRNA translation and its evolution

TL;DR: This review demonstrates the fundamental advantages of employing computational biophysical translation models in general, and discusses the relative advantages of the different approaches and the challenges in the field.

Transcriptome sequencing of mung bean (Vigna radiate L.) genes and the identification of EST-SSR markers.

TL;DR: The large number of SSR-containing sequences found in this study will be valuable for the construction of a high-resolution genetic linkage maps, association or comparative mapping and genetic analyses of various Vigna species.

Increasing confidence of allele calls with molecular counting

TL;DR: In this paper, a degenerate base region (DBR) is attached to the starting polynucleotide molecules that are subsequently sequenced (e.g., after certain process steps are performed, e.g. amplification and/or enrichment).
Journal ArticleDOI

The emerging landscape of salivary diagnostics.

TL;DR: The mechanisms of how diseases distal from the oral cavity can lead to the appearance of discriminatory biomarkers in saliva are illustrated, and the relevance of these markers for translational and clinical applications are discussed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
