Questions tagged [isoform]

Each of several mRNAs encoded by different transcripts of the same gene. Isoforms can arise by different splicings of the same pre-mRNA. Each isoform gives rise to a different protein sequence.

StringTie discovers less novel isoforms when reference annotation is provided

I am analyzing PacBio IsoSeq data and I am using StringTie to assemble transcripts. I noticed the difference in the output files when I add a reference genome annotation (-G option in StringTie). In ...

Good source for specific Isoforms overexpression in tumor cells (specifically, melanoma)

My group is interested in genetically engineering mice with label for the Slc45a2 gene, since "the protein is expressed in a high percentage of melanoma cell lines". (from Refseq) How can I ...

Calling isoforms from long read data generated from partially degraded RNA

What will be the best tool to call isoforms from long read data generated from partially degraded RNA. By mistake we processed some samples with poor quality RNA to generate long read. Now we are ...

BAM file filteing to remain best isoform

I ran HiSat2, MarkDuplicate, removed reads with the lower quality score than 40 and finally only kept properly paired reads. After the BAM filtering steps, I used the Scallop results with TransDecoder....

Difference between isoforms and paralogs in transcriptoms?

I've assembled RNAseq data into a transcriptoms using Trinity. There's a option to keep only the longest isoforms for each transcripts and it lead me to wonder how it deals with duplicated genes (--&...

Do I need to study alternative splicing and isoformswitch separately?

I have done a study on isoform switch between different tissue type. Now, many people asking me to study alternative splicing also. But, dont they will give me same results? If there is a significant ...
