MSIQ: Joint Modeling of Multiple RNA-seq Samples for Accurate Isoform Quantification [PDF]
Next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology has been widely used to assess full-length RNA isoform abundance in a high-throughput manner. RNA-seq data offer insight into gene expression levels and transcriptome structures, enabling us to better understand the regulation of gene expression and fundamental biological processes.

Methods to study splicing from high-throughput RNA Sequencing data [PDF]
The development of novel high-throughput sequencing (HTS) methods for RNA (RNA-Seq) has provided a very powerful mean to study splicing under multiple conditions at unprecedented depth. However, the complexity of the information to be analyzed has turned this into a challenging task.

Transcription of a 5’ extended mRNA isoform directs dynamic chromatin changes and interference of a downstream promoter [PDF]
Cell differentiation programs require dynamic regulation of gene expression. During meiotic prophase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expression of the kinetochore complex subunit Ndc80 is downregulated by a 5’ extended long undecoded NDC80 transcript ...

A large-scale comparative study of isoform expressions measured on four platforms
Background Most eukaryotic genes produce different transcripts of multiple isoforms by inclusion or exclusion of particular exons. The isoforms of a gene often play diverse functional roles, and thus it is necessary to accurately measure isoform ...
