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
