Approaches for integrating heterogeneous RNA-seq data reveal cross-talk between microbes and genes in asthmatic patients

Abstract excerpt

Sputum induction is a non-invasive method to evaluate the airway environment, particularly for asthma. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of sputum samples can be challenging to interpret due to the complex and heterogeneous mixtures of human cells and exogenous (microbial) material. In this study, we develop a pipeline that integrates dimensionality reduction and statistical modeling to grapple with the heterogeneity....
