Article Synopsis
  • Advances in RNA abundance quantification have been largely driven by high-throughput "short-read" technologies, but accurately quantifying full-length transcript isoforms has remained difficult.
  • Long-read sequencing platforms offer the potential for better isoform quantification, but bioinformatic challenges arise from the complexity of isoforms and genetic variation.
  • To address this, the study introduces 'lr-kallisto', a new tool that adapts existing RNA-seq quantification methods for long-read data, improving accuracy through exome capture.

Postnatal genomic regulation significantly influences tissue and organ maturation but is under-studied relative to existing genomic catalogs of adult tissues or prenatal development in mouse. The ENCODE4 consortium generated the first comprehensive single-nucleus resource of postnatal regulatory events across a diverse set of mouse tissues. The collection spans seven postnatal time points, mirroring human development from childhood to adulthood, and encompasses five core tissues.

The gene expression profiles of distinct cell types reflect complex genomic interactions among multiple simultaneous biological processes within each cell that can be altered by disease progression as well as genetic background. The identification of these active cellular programs is an open challenge in the analysis of single-cell RNA-seq data. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is a generative method used to identify recurring patterns in counts data, commonly referred to as topics that can be used to interpret the state of each cell.

The Encyclopedia of DNA elements (ENCODE) project is a collaborative effort to create a comprehensive catalog of functional elements in the human genome. The current database comprises more than 19000 functional genomics experiments across more than 1000 cell lines and tissues using a wide array of experimental techniques to study the chromatin structure, regulatory and transcriptional landscape of the and genomes. All experimental data, metadata, and associated computational analyses created by the ENCODE consortium are submitted to the Data Coordination Center (DCC) for validation, tracking, storage, and distribution to community resources and the scientific community.
