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

Identification of protein coding regions in RNA transcripts
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the unsupervised training is robust with respect to the presence of transcripts assembly errors and the accuracy of GeneMarkS-T in identifying protein-coding regions and, particularly, in predicting translation initiation sites in modelled as well as in assembled transcripts compares favourably to other existing methods.

Digital counting of individual molecules by stochastic attachment of diverse labels
Stephen P.A. Fodor,Glenn Fu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a stochastic transformation was proposed to reduce the problem of counting molecules from one of locating and identifying identical molecules to a series of binary digital questions detecting whether preprogrammed labels are present.

Advancing RNA-Seq analysis
Brian J. Haas,Michael C. Zody +1 more
TL;DR: New approaches for RNA-Seq analysis that capture genome-wide transcription and splicing in unprecedented detail are introduced, and a de novo assembly approach implemented in the ABySS software reduces the annotation problem to that of aligning full-length cDNAs, which is well handled by several algorithms.

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.
