Populus Petra van Berkel Casper Gerritsen AstriHerlino Brian Lavrijssen
Dataset and goal • Dataset • Organism of choice is S. cerevisiae • 2 conditions (batch & chemostat) • Response to glucose limitation • 3 replicates per condition • Goal • Find differentially expressed genes • Define gene functions • Find a correlation between gene expression and transcript properties
Pipeline functionality (M) • Generate differential expression data • TopHat, Cufflinks, Cuffmerge and Cuffdiff (B) • Extract all significant differentially expressed genes (P) • Default settings • Changed q-value (<1e-5) (→ literature) • Top up- and downregulated genes • Find GO-terms for selected up- and downregulatedgenes (A)
Pipeline functionality (S) • Create a volcano plot & scattered plot (B) • Perform GO-enrichment (A) • Create graphs • Find correlation between gene expression and transcript properties (C) • GC-content • Transcript length • Codon usage • Intron length
Pipeline functionality (C) • Visualize highly expressed genes in interaction network (P) • Create a summary (B) • Find pathway information for up- and downregulatedgenes (KEGG)
Issues/challenges • Find modules of co-expressed genes • Need > 4 different conditions • Validation of all output • Writing rapport
