Yesterday we had a webinar “Controlling RNA-Seq Experiments Using Spike-In RNA Variants. In this talk Lukas Paul, Head of Services at Lexogen, introduced RNA spike-in transcripts developed by Lexogen.
The following topics were covered:
- The concept of comprehensive RNA spike-ins covering transcription and splicing events
- Design of SIRV mixes to allow for RNA-Seq pipeline quality control and validation
- Assessment of differential gene expression on the transcript level
- The SIRV Suite, a Galaxy-based platform for easy and complete spike-in experiment design, data evaluation and comparison
- The concept of the quality matrix (coverage CoD, accuracy, precision) and concordance
- The SIRV Suite data base to find and research comparable RNA-Seq experiments on the transcript level
- Upcoming RNA spike-in modules: from transcript length, poly(A) variants to base modifications
We are happy to share with you the recording of this webinar in case you didn’t have a chance to attend it or would like to watch it again:
