Haynes: Modeling as nascent isoform cp to not-modeled: can change results. Data suggests unprocessed RNA picked up #RNASeq2014

Haynes: (QFI is a TM of Asuragen). Elevated intronic coverage from FFPE; most pipelines ignore it; ILM pulls out exonic #RNASeq2014

9:40am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Haynes: "FFPE of low quality can be rescued" - by adding more. High quality: more not helpful (100ng to 600ng) #RNASeq2014

9:39am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Haynes: QFI is qPCR-based, best predictor of FFPE whole transcriptome data quality. 100ng to 600ng chart shown... #RNASeq2014

9:39am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Haynes: FFPE challenges on QC: %DV200 on BioAnalyzer by 'unique exonic r2': 0.17, 0.31, 0.34, 0.66 (BA, nanodrop, Qubit, QFI) #RNASeq2014

9:38am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Haynes: FFPE can look 'good' but function poorly; also can look poor but function well. #RNASeq2014

9:36am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Haynes: FFPE quality varies on 2 axes: irrev. chemical modifications & extent of degradation #RNASeq2014

9:31am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Li: Doesn't recommend RNA ampl (? what method?); strandedness consistency important metric; some SW not sens. to strand #RNASeq2014

9:28am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Li: lincRNA example cp protocols: varying results dep on library prep; miRNA picked up in all methods #RNASeq2014

9:25am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Li: mRNA reads limited to 'small region': picked up via RT-PCR but not RNA-Seq; mRNA could be tied up in lipid. #RNASeq2014

9:23am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Li: Case 3: Looking at RNA in exosome compartment; cp. protocols, +/- ampl.; different frag; 3 seq platforms (SOLiD, Ion + ILM) #RNASeq2014

9:22am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Li: DESeq dispersion looked poor; switched to Partek's tool, a mIR212/132 modulation of xcr demonstrated #RNASeq2014

9:21am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Li: Analysis parameters do matter. 2nd case: map reads ~40%; using RPKM # detected genes differ substantially (3K vs 12K) #RNASeq2014

9:19am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Li: Their discrepant DE results: dispersion est. driven by 1 out of 3 repl. samples; rec'd move to pooled estimate on DESeq #RNASeq2014

9:16am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Li: Calc DESeq and EdgeR params for dispersion and quantile normalization: p<0.05, v. different numbers of genes #RNASeq2014

9:13am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Li: Using ERCC, saw more scatter at lower conc; amplified material looked poor #RNASeq2014

9:11am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Li: Used RiboMinus for rRNA removal (40% contam); 2nd round didn't help much. 100M-700M reads/sample. 10-30% map to exons #RNASeq2014

9:08am June 19th 2014 via Hootsuite

Li: Used SOLiD / 5500xl 50x35PE reads; after alignment they used Partek for gene- and isoform-level analysis #RNASeq2014
