TLDR
New normal linear modeling strategies are presented for analyzing read counts from RNA-seq experiments, and the voom method estimates the mean-variance relationship of the log-counts, generates a precision weight for each observation and enters these into the limma empirical Bayes analysis pipeline.Abstract:
New normal linear modeling strategies are presented for analyzing read counts from RNA-seq experiments. The voom method estimates the mean-variance relationship of the log-counts, generates a precision weight for each observation and enters these into the limma empirical Bayes analysis pipeline. This opens access for RNA-seq analysts to a large body of methodology developed for microarrays. Simulation studies show that voom performs as well or better than count-based RNA-seq methods even when the data are generated according to the assumptions of the earlier methods. Two case studies illustrate the use of linear modeling and gene set testing methods.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multiple integrated approaches, including RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), mass spectrometry, electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry, serial block-face-scanning electron microscopy, morphological reconstructions, pharmacogenetics, and diffusible dye, calcium, and glutamate imaging, to directly compare adult striatal and hippocampal astrocytes under identical conditions.

TL;DR: An analytic pipeline and visualization tool (metabolograms) is developed to bridge the gap between TCGA transcriptomic profiling and metabolomic data, which enables to assemble an integrated pathway-level metabolic atlas and to demonstrate discordance between transcriptome and metabolome.

TL;DR: It is shown that although overall survival is significantly prolonged in response to CSF-1R inhibition, tumors recur eventually in >50% of mice, indicating the necessity of combination therapy to expose PI3K signaling dependency in recurrent disease.

TL;DR: The data suggest that stimulating IA production could promote anti-inflammatory responses and have therapeutic benefits, and the genetic capability of microbes to utilize mucins and metabolize tryptophan is diminished in IBD patients.

edgeR: a Bioconductor package for differential expression analysis of digital gene expression data.
TL;DR: EdgeR as mentioned in this paper is a Bioconductor software package for examining differential expression of replicated count data, which uses an overdispersed Poisson model to account for both biological and technical variability and empirical Bayes methods are used to moderate the degree of overdispersion across transcripts, improving the reliability of inference.
