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.

RSEM: accurate transcript quantification from RNA-Seq data with or without a reference genome

TL;DR: It is shown that accurate gene-level abundance estimates are best obtained with large numbers of short single-end reads, and estimates of the relative frequencies of isoforms within single genes may be improved through the use of paired- end reads, depending on the number of possible splice forms for each gene.

Sequencing technologies-the next generation

TL;DR: A technical review of template preparation, sequencing and imaging, genome alignment and assembly approaches, and recent advances in current and near-term commercially available NGS instruments is presented.

De novo transcript sequence reconstruction from RNA-seq using the Trinity platform for reference generation and analysis

TL;DR: This protocol provides a workflow for genome-independent transcriptome analysis leveraging the Trinity platform and presents Trinity-supported companion utilities for downstream applications, including RSEM for transcript abundance estimation, R/Bioconductor packages for identifying differentially expressed transcripts across samples and approaches to identify protein-coding genes.

A scaling normalization method for differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data

TL;DR: A simple and effective method for performing normalization is outlined and dramatically improved results for inferring differential expression in simulated and publicly available data sets are shown.

GEPIA: a web server for cancer and normal gene expression profiling and interactive analyses.

TL;DR: GEPIA (Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis) fills in the gap between cancer genomics big data and the delivery of integrated information to end users, thus helping unleash the value of the current data resources.

The status, quality, and expansion of the NIH full-length cDNA project: The Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC)

Daniela S. Gerhard, +118 more
- 01 Oct 2004 - 
TL;DR: Comparison of the sequence of the MGC clones to reference genome sequences reveals that most cDNA clones are of very high sequence quality, although it is likely that some cDNAs may carry missense variants as a consequence of experimental artifact, such as PCR, cloning, or reverse transcriptase errors.

Large-scale analysis of the yeast genome by transposon tagging and gene disruption

TL;DR: This work has developed a transposon-tagging strategy for the genome-wide analysis of disruption phenotypes, gene expression and protein localization, and has applied this method to the large-scale analysis of gene function in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Profiling the HeLa S3 transcriptome using randomly primed cDNA and massively parallel short-read sequencing.

TL;DR: It is shown that massively parallel sequencing of randomly primed cDNAs, using a next-generation sequencing-by-synthesis technology, offers the potential to generate relative measures of mRNA and individual exon abundance while simultaneously profiling the prevalence of both annotated and novel exons and exon-splicing events.

CAGE: cap analysis of gene expression

TL;DR: This paper presents a poster presented at the 2016 Australian Diabetes and Endocrinology Congress, entitled “Vaxine Pty Ltd., Department of Diabetes and endocrinology, Flinders Medical Centre, Bedford Park, Southern Australia 5042, Australia”.

Whole-genome sequencing and variant discovery in C. elegans.

TL;DR: This study sequenced a Caernohabditis elegans N2 Bristol strain isolate and compared the reads to the reference genome to characterize the data and to evaluate coverage and representation, demonstrating the utility of massively parallel short read sequencing for whole genome resequencing and for accurate discovery of genome-wide polymorphisms.
