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
