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

TL;DR: It is found that group II intron RTs differ from the retroviral enzymes in template switching with minimal base-pairing to the 3' ends of new RNA templates, making it possible to efficiently and seamlessly link adaptors containing PCR-primer binding sites to cDNA ends without an RNA ligase step.

TL;DR: A notable difference is revealed in the prediction accuracy of expression levels of transcription start sites (TSSs) captured by different technologies and RNA extraction protocols, which implies that these features regulate transcription in a highly coordinated manner.

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.

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.
