Reference genome and transcriptome informed by the sex chromosome complement of the sample increases ability to detect sex differences in gene expression from RNA-Seq data
2019-06-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Human X and Y chromosomes share an evolutionary origin and, as a consequence, sequence similarity. We investigated whether sequence homology between the X and Y chromosomes affects alignment of RNA-Seq reads and estimates of differential expression. We tested the effects of using reference genomes and reference transcriptomes informed by the sex chromosome complement of the sample’s genome on...
