Project Title
- Time-series RNA-seq analysis package (TRAP) and its application to the analysis of rice, Oryza sativa L. ssp. Japonica, upon drought stress
The Background of This Project
- The high throughput RNA sequencing(RNA-seq) technique has advantages over microarray technique such as the decreased noise level and more replicable results ,compared to microarrays. For this reason, the number of time-series RNA-seq data sets in the public domain has increased dramatically over the past few years.
- The main issue with RNA-seq is to handle sequencing data that is much bigger than microarray data.The researchers developed a comprehensive package, Time-series RNA-seq Analysis Package (TRAP), for analyzing time series transcriptome data. There have been many packages developed for analyzing time-series gene expression data. The most widely used technique is to identify DEGs. Packages for finding DEGs from time-series data include SAM , LIMMA ,EDGE , maSigPro and BETR .However, most of them are developed for microarray data and they assume that gene expression follows normal distribution. Users with RNA-seq data,therefore, should perform additional conversion process or use the certain type of distribution (e.g., Poisson or Binomial) which needs further validation.
- Finding DEGs and clustering is the first step for identifying genes that may have an important role in relation to phenotypes. However, the analysis needs to go at least one step further to extract biological implication from the gene list. The most widely
used method for this additional analysis step is pathway analysis.
