How can I compute gene expression for a set of RNA reads?

I'm trying to compute a gene expression profile for an organism. I have gene nucleotide sequences of the mentioned organism stored in a fasta file and a set of paired reads stored in two separate ...

5' and 3' bias in Rna-seq data

I'm working with rna-seq samples. I see 5' bias and also 3' bias in the per-base sequence content plot. From this link I see that the bias at the start of the sequences appears to be the result of ...

Show presence of known mutation in RNA-seq data

We have RNA-seq fastq data from control (WT) patients and a patient with a point mutation at a known location in one gene. I'd like to retrieve the reads aligning to that gene and show the presence of ...

Discrepancy with featurecounts analysis using a forward stranded and reverse stranded protocol

My RNAseq analysis pipeline is as follows: fastqc (read quality is good, some overrepresentation of adaptor sequence) → trimmomatic (trimmed adaptor sequence, qc report after trimming suggests the ...

What is the meaning of split read?

I want to use rna seq data to later perform functional tests on fusion genes. so before that I need to filter the "best results" (of rnaseq) for deciding which candidates I actually want to ...

What is the best way to map/align my reads on a given genome?

I am frequently using a ballgown package for my rnaseq analysis, but recently I have had a new task to have my reads mapped on two different genomes to understand the level of alignment between the ...

Is loss/gain of function reflected in RNA-seq transcript counts?

Do LoF/GoF transcripts count toward the RNA-seq TPM count? Or would these LoF/GoF transcripts only be detected by isoform quantification?
