lab meeting 11/29/2016

1)a-DE gene lists for RNAseq project

Q1: there are various time points between control and treatment. Should we use the consensus DEG list?

 IN the BGI report go to /Differential.../DEGList/
(There is an R package NOISeq)
BGI already did the analysis, we need to do a better job @11,12

check NOISeq in the report page 16/23-17/23-...


do a good job on that parts for a manuscript:

11-Pathway Analysis of DEG: functional enrichment phyer, hypergeormetric_distribution
12- PPI Analysis of DEG

It seems "GeneID" in BGI report are from NCBI. Example GeneID: 57573 is a standard ID.



1)b-Pathway analysis plan for DE gene lists
TODO: There are different sources of human gene/protein networks. We should try several for comparisons
TODO: We should try different clustering method, such as hlcust, mcl, etc (refer to Qin's previous paper for clustering analysis).

  2)a-time-lapsed image analysis for yeast replicative lifespan
       softwares:ImageJ, MATLAB, R

gene set analysis is a basic thing, we also need to do that.

data visualization course would be good for animations of .gifs

tutorial RNA-seq

How to analyze RNA-Seq data? Find differentially expressed genes in your research

What is RNA-seq?
"using next generation sequencing to reveal the presence and quantity of RNA in a biological sample at a given moment in time."(wikipedia)

* differential expression of RNA-seq and pathway analysis is important
here is a nice set of slides:

* nice discussion FPKM vs RPKM

RNA-seq lab meeting notes

*Stringtie got a bug.

*make sure you can follow the home path$ echo $PATH

*rnaseq_hisat2 /ballgown/chrx_genes*.csv
                                        /hisat
                                   
* FPKM : stands for Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads. In RNA-Seq, the relative expression of a transcript is proportional to the number of cDNA fragments that originate from it.

*Why FPKM ?

* Lior Pachter is a professor of computational biology follow his blog.

*focus on pathway analysis in RNA-seq 
*differential expression analysis
