Study Notes
Gene Expression Analysis: Microarrays and RNA Sequencing
- Gene expression analysis involves comparing the expression of RNAs between different conditions, such as normal colon and colon tumor.
- Microarrays measure mRNA from select genes, while RNAseq provides genome-wide measurement of all RNA transcripts.
- Microarray analysis involves 7 main steps, including experimental design, RNA extraction, hybridization, image acquisition, data analysis, biological confirmation, and depositing data in microarray databases.
- Experimental design for microarrays requires biological replicates and a balanced, randomized design.
- RNA and cDNA preparation for microarrays must consider extraction quality and cDNA efficiency to avoid missing target genes.
- Hybridization to DNA arrays in microarray analysis involves using cDNA with fluorescent tags and considering technical artifacts that can affect results.
- Microarray data analysis includes statistical analysis, clustering, and biological confirmation of gene expression differences.
- Microarray databases like GEO and ArrayExpress store information according to MIAME standards and allow for analysis and visualization of experimental data.
- RNA sequencing involves isolating RNAs, converting to cDNA, sequencing, mapping to the genome, and downstream analysis of gene expression differences.
- RNA sequencing studies require technical and biological replicates to account for variation within and between samples.
- The RNAseq pipeline includes steps such as read alignment, transcript compilation, gene identification, and differential expression analysis.
- The goal of RNA sequencing is to achieve a high correlation coefficient between replicates, considering factors like environmental conditions and age that could influence gene expression.
