Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a new RNA sequencing strategy that can reveal how genetic variants disrupt gene function and improve the diagnosis of rare ...

Focusing on this aspect, we present the RMaP challenge, where RNA modification methods can be jointly tested, evaluated, and compared using selected metrics with the purpose of evaluating both the ...

Nanopore direct RNA sequencing (dRNA-seq) is a powerful tool for transcriptomics 1. Unlike other RNA sequencing methods, dRNA-seq does not require the conversion of RNA to cDNA. It therefore allows ...

A new single-cell technology is giving scientists their clearest view yet of immune cell behavior—capturing not just genetic intent, but real-time activity. By measuring RNA and proteins ...

DNA-based methods dominate molecular cancer diagnostics but struggle to detect gene fusions and assess splice site consequences. RNA sequencing enables sensitive fusion detection and direct assessment ...

National Cancer Institute researchers have developed a method called HORNET for characterizing 3D topological structures of large and flexible RNA molecules. Scientists used atomic force microscopy ...

Understand the stages of a standard RNA-seq bioinformatics workflow, including the role of QC, alignment, gene expression quantification, and specialized application analyses Identify key QC metrics ...

While bulk sequencing quickly became the preferred method, scRNA-seq has increased in popularity over the last decade. In 2015, just 6 % of RNA-seq papers used single-cell methodologies. By 2025, the ...

A comprehensive review article titled “Bioinformatics perspectives on transcriptomics: A comprehensive review of bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing analyses,” published in Quantitative Biology, ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

An interdisciplinary team of Rice University researchers has uncovered previously unknown relationships between bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—and their bacterial hosts, offering a ...
