how to test for differential expression in samples where a global increase in gene expression is expected

As the title suggestions, I’m wondering what the best way to test each gene in a count matrix containing two groups is, where one group is expected to have a global increase in gene expression. I need to use spike-in normalized RPKM data, so from my understanding of DESeq, it…

CRISPR-broad: combined design of multi-targeting gRNAs and broad, multiplex target finding

CRISPR-broad framework We developed a procedural pipeline for detecting gRNAs and implemented this in Python as a standalone application (Fig. 1a). For speeding up gRNA selection, we employed multithreading and used big data Python module Pandas. This allowed splitting millions of short sequences for mapping and processing large numbers of uncompressed…

I want to use the option of VCF input and I am following the code described in bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/rDGIdb/inst/doc/vignette.pdf. However it always gives me an error in the end: library(VariantAnnotation) library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene) library(org.Hs.eg.db) txdb <- TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene vcf <-…

Systematic and benchmarking studies of pipelines for mammal WGBS data in the novel NGS platform | BMC Bioinformatics

Comparison of read level and improving the mapping efficiency according to trimming Since the generation of high-quality WGBS data ultimately impacts the quantification and interpretation of Cs methylation levels, it is indispensable to monitor the raw data quality and interrogate the appropriate pre-processing step to cleanse data [1]. To avoid…

getTable ignores query ranges

HI everyone. I have a set of mouse SNPs (~974) from GRCm39 that I’m trying to get either GERP or UCSC Conservation scores on. To do this, I’m using rtracklayer to try to query the ranges of the SNP and return the multiz35way conservation score. However, when I do this,…

Help with PCA plot from SNPRelate

Hello, BioStars community! I am working on a datase of 50 samples(between cases and controls) with genotyping data for ~200 SNPs. I ran SNPRelate PCA analysis without adding population data and tried to plot its results. My PCA plot seems a bit “strange” since the observations did not come together…

MAPQ (Mapping quality) of 0 for most reads from BWA-MEM2 (with no secondary alignment or other apparent reason)

Hello, I got a very weird output from BWA-mem2 – most of the reads have mapping quality of 0, even though there is no secondary alignment or anything else suspicious. I got sequencing data that was aligned with Novoalign to hg18, the data was bam files. I needed to realign…

What is the difference between GRCh37 and hs37? And hg19?

This is what I have found so far. Please correct me if I am wrong. GRCh37 w/o patches includes the primary assembly (22 autosomal, X. Y, and non-chromosomal supecontigs) and alternate scaffolds, but not a reference mitogenome. Non-chromosomal supercontigs are the unlocalized and unplaced scaffolds. The rCRS reference mitogenome in…
