voom: precision weights unlock linear model analysis tools for RNA-seq read counts

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.

Characteristic miRNA expression signature and random forest survival analysis identify potential cancer-driving miRNAs in a broad range of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma subtypes.

TL;DR: The joint differential miRNA expression and survival analysis controlling for multiple confounding covariates implemented in this study allowed for the identification of a previously undetected prognostic miRNA signature characteristic of a broad range of HNSCC.

A cis-carotene derived apocarotenoid regulates etioplast and chloroplast development.

TL;DR: A unique carotenoid biosynthesis mutant that has no prolamellar body (PLB) and normal PROTOCHLOROPHYLLIDE OXIDOREDUCTASE (POR) levels, was used to demonstrate a regulatory function for carotanoids and their derivatives under varied dark-light regimes and attributed this to a novel apocarotenoids retrograde signal.

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.

Generalized Linear Models

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the analysis of variance is given for these models using log- likelihoods, illustrated by examples relating to four distributions; the Normal, Binomial (probit analysis, etc.), Poisson (contingency tables), and gamma (variance components).

featureCounts: an efficient general-purpose program for assigning sequence reads to genomic features

TL;DR: FeatureCounts as discussed by the authors is a read summarization program suitable for counting reads generated from either RNA or genomic DNA sequencing experiments, which implements highly efficient chromosome hashing and feature blocking techniques.
