Annotations are an important component in an RNA-seq analysis as the results are dependent on what is known in the annotation database. In this study, we focused on the Ensembl [6] and RefSeq [7] annotations, two of the mostly commonly used gene annotations for human and mouse.

Transcriptome assembly is a process of reconstructing the complete set of full-length transcripts from RNA-seq data, which often include tens of millions of short-read sequences.

Transcriptome annotation provides insight into the function and biological process of transcripts and the proteins they encode. Transcriptome analysis involves the measurement of all or a subset of transcripts, including all mRNA in a cell.

The transcriptome assembly process assigns each new transcript a unique name so that it can be differentiated within the assembly. This means that the high- and low-quality assemblies do not share identical transcripts or names common to both assemblies, making the direct comparison of sequences impossible.

Transcriptome refers to the protein-coding part of an organism's genome. It refers to the set of RNA molecules such as messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and other noncoding RNA molecules that are present in cells.

A transcriptome is the full range of messenger RNA, or mRNA, molecules expressed by an organism. The term "transcriptome" can also be used to describe the array of mRNA transcripts produced in a particular cell or tissue type.

Transcriptome analysis experiments enable researchers to characterize transcriptional activity (coding and non-coding), focus on a subset of relevant target genes and transcripts, or profile thousands of genes at once to create a global picture of cell function.

By studying transcriptomes, researchers hope to determine when and where genes are turned on or off in various types of cells and tissues. The number of transcripts can be quantified to get some idea of the amount of gene activity or expression in a cell.

Read mapping is the process to align the reads on a reference genomes. A mapper takes as input a reference genome and a set of reads.

The protocol in a nutshell:Obtain sequence read file(s) from sequencing machine(s).Look at the reads - get an understanding of what you've got and what the quality is like.Raw data cleanup/quality trimming if necessary.Choose an appropriate assembly parameter set.Assemble the data into contigs/scaffolds.More items...
