Context-based mapping of RNA-seq data with ContextMap 2.0

چکیده
Recently, we presented ContextMap (Bonfert et al., 2012), a novel approach to mapping RNA-seq reads based on the concept of a so-called read context. A context is defined as a set of reads all originating from the same stretch of the genome, indicating that they all correspond to transcripts of the same gene. The original implementation we presented was focused on refining initial mappings provided by other mapping approaches such as, e.g. TopHat (Trapnell et al., 2009) or MapSplice (Wang et al., 2010), and improved the accuracy of the initial alignments considerably. In the following, we briefly describe the essential steps of the original ContextMap implementation. Details can be found in the original paper (Bonfert et al., 2012) also available at the Supplementary website (http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/ContextMap). With the initial mappings as input, ContextMap operates in three steps:

متن کاملPrediction of Poly(A) Sites by Poly(A) Read Mapping
RNA-seq reads containing part of the poly(A) tail of transcripts (denoted as poly(A) reads) provide the most direct evidence for the position of poly(A) sites in the genome. However, due to reduced coverage of poly(A) tails by reads, poly(A) reads are not routinely identified during RNA-seq mapping. Nevertheless, recent studies for several herpesviruses successfully employed mapping of poly(A) ...
متن کاملMining RNA–Seq Data for Infections and Contaminations
RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) provides novel opportunities for transcriptomic studies at nucleotide resolution, including transcriptomics of viruses or microbes infecting a cell. However, standard approaches for mapping the resulting sequencing reads generally ignore alternative sources of expression other than the host cell and are little equipped to address the problems arising from redundancies a...
متن کاملContextMap: Modeling Scenes of the Real World for Context-Aware Computing
We present a scenegraph-based schema, the ContextMap, to model context information. Locations with hierarchical relations are the skeleton of the ContextMap where nodes of people, objects and activities can be attached. Context information can be collected by traversing the ContextMap. The ContextMap provides a uniform method to represent physical and social semantics for context-aware computin...
متن کاملImpact of Gene Annotation on RNA-seq Data Analysis
RNA-seq has become increasingly popular in transcriptome profiling. One of the major challenges in RNA-seq data analysis is the accurate mapping of junction reads to their genomic origins. To detect splicing sites in short reads, many RNA-seq aligners use reference transcriptome to inform placement of junction reads. However, no systematic evaluation has been performed to assess or quantify the...
