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: COSMIC mutational signature 18, previously associated with reactive oxygen species, is the most common cause of driver point mutations in neuroblastoma, including most ALK and Ras-activating variants.

Taming Human Genetic Variability: Transcriptomic Meta-Analysis Guides the Experimental Design and Interpretation of iPSC-Based Disease Modeling
TL;DR: It is shown that the widespread use of more than one clone per individual in combination with current analytical practices is detrimental to the robustness of the findings and methods to address this challenge are identified.

TL;DR: The first high-resolution analysis of the transcriptome dynamics of four distinct stages of Leishmania major as they develop in a natural vector, Phlebotomus duboscqi, reveals changes consistent with cell cycle arrest and the upregulation of genes associated with starvation and stress.

TL;DR: This study provides the most comprehensive compendium of lncRNAs expressed in HCC, as well as in control or cirrhotic livers and finds that more than 20% of differentially expressed lnc RNAs are associated to actively transcribed enhancers and that the co-expression patterns with their closest genes change dramatically during HCC development.

Resistance against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in soybean involves a reprogramming of the phenylpropanoid pathway and up-regulation of antifungal activity targeting ergosterol biosynthesis.

TL;DR: The combined results show that resistance to S. sclerotiorum in soybean is associated in part with an early accumulation of JA‐Ile ((+)‐7‐iso‐jasmonoyl‐L‐isoleucine), a bioactive jasmonate, increased ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species, and importantly, a reprogramming of the phenylpropanoid pathway leading to increased antifungal activities.

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.
