Study Notes
Microarray, Real-time PCR, and RNA seq in Gene Expression Studies
- Microarrays compare tag frequencies to identify upregulated or downregulated genes under specific conditions
- Microarrays are used to detect the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously
- Microarray data processing workflow involves image processing, data management, analysis, and biological interpretation
- Microarrays convert mRNA molecules into cDNA, allowing measurement of gene expression via hybridization and scanning
- Real-time PCR is more sensitive than microarrays in detecting small changes in gene expression
- Real-time PCR involves conversion of RNA to cDNA, followed by PCR amplification and fluorescence detection
- Real-time PCR can only be used for studying known genes due to the requirement of known gene sequences
- Steps of Real-time PCR include sample preparation, PCR amplification, fluorescence detection, and CT value calculation
- Microarrays have limitations in detecting novel transcripts, splice variants, and single nucleotide variants
- RNA seq with tools like TopHat aligns RNA-Seq reads to a reference genome or transcriptome and performs spliced alignment
- RNA seq involves data preprocessing steps like quality control, read alignment, read count quantification, normalization, and statistical analysis
- Statistical analysis methods for RNA seq data include edgeR, DESeq2, and limma-voom to identify differentially expressed genes
