Computer Program Enrich Understandings to RNA motifs

by

DNA carries and passes the genetic information with nucleotides sequences, but in some virus RNA does the job instead of DNA.  In addition, the 3D structure of RNA, RNA motif, shows more various roles in cellular functions. It means that only with sequence information we cannot fully understand the RNA roles and functions. Detecting and … Read more

FX: an RNA-Seq analysis tool on the cloud

by

FX is an RNA-Seq analysis tool, which runs in parallel on cloud computing infrastructure, for the estimation of gene expression levels and genomic variant calling. In the mapping of short RNA-Seq reads, FX uses a transcriptome-based reference primarily, generated from ∼160,000 mRNA sequences from RefSeq, UCSC and Ensembl databases. This approach reduces the misalignment of … Read more
