Project description:Purpose: To generate a reference long-read transcriptomic data set for use in developing new analysis pipelines and comparing their performance with existing methods. Synthetic “sequin” RNA standards (Hardwick et al. 2016) were sequenced using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) GridION platform.
Project description:Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer in children, adolescents and young adults. It is a rare cancer type. To comprehensively reveal the transcriptomic characteristics of osteosarcoma, we performed Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) long-read RNA-Seq of tumor and adjacent normal tissues from 23 patients with osteosarcoma.
