RNA-Seq is becoming the tool of choice for gene expression studies, as it can facilitate the investigation of phenomena beyond the reach of traditional microarrays, such as novel transcripts and isoforms, alternative splice sites, and allele-specific expression. Additionally, it provides greater coverage and higher quality genetic data than microarrays. Golden Helix and Expression Analysis have built an analysis solution in which RNA-seq bioinformatic processes will be performed in a service-based cloud compute environment. This offering will address the obstacles of sequence data by providing cloud-based and integrated desktop analysis tools that are scalable, affordable, and simplified.

In this ancillary event recording, Dr. Christensen demonstrates next-generation DNA sequencing variant analysis including:
- Starting with sequence variant sites in a family trio and identifying a single gene exhibiting compound heterozygosity of rare damaging variants
- Filtering large-scale NGS data to damaging rare variants
- Using collapsing methods to explore associations between rare variants and phenotypes.

In this presentation, Dr. Bryce Christensen explores tertiary methods - the "sense-making" part - of next-gen sequencing analysis including: starting with 5.2 M sequence variant sites in a family trio and systematically identifying a single gene exhibiting compound heterozygosity of rare damaging variants; practical workflows for filtering large-scale NGS data to damaging rare variants; and using collapsing methods to explore associations between rare variants and phenotypes.

CHRNA5, encoding the nicotinic alpha5 subunit, is implicated in nicotine addiction, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Expression of this gene is significantly associated with promoter polymorphisms, but the responsible sequence variants remain uncertain. In this webcast, Ryan Smith and Audrey Papp of Ohio State University will discuss their search for cis-regulatory variants, by measuring allele-specific mRNA expression of CHRNA5 in human prefrontal cortex autopsy tissues and scanning the CHRNA5 locus for regulatory variants.

The volume of GWAS data is constantly growing. The content of SNP arrays is increasing, consortium efforts are accelerating, public databases are expanding, and we are at the threshold of the sequencing revolution. The increasing amount of data, and especially the increasing ability to identify rare sequence variants, presents a variety of complex problems for statistical analysis and identification of disease susceptibility loci.

As new sequencing technologies become available, a question has risen: how can we bridge all of the microarray work with next generation sequencing? Dr. Lambert discusses using imputation from the dense genotype calls of the 1,000 Genomes Project to fill that gap and an alternative approach to marry the two.

Incorporating CNVs into genome-wide association studies promises to explain more of the heritability of disease than that accounted for by SNPs alone. This potential goldmine however, has been plagued by myriad of technical and experimental challenges. We examine the most persistent issues in CNV-based GWAS, including: study design, sample quality control, correcting for batch effects and genomics wave, inherited and de novo copy number detection, CNV-based association testing, and rare variant analysis.
