Abstract: Summary: Quantification applications of short-tag sequencing data (such as CNVseq and RNAseq) depend on knowing the uniqueness of specific genomic regions at a given threshold of error. Here, we present the ‘uniqueome’, a genomic resource for understanding the uniquely mappable proportion of genomic sequences. Pre-computed data are available for human, mouse, fly and worm genomes in both color-space and nucletotide-space, and we demonstrate the utility of this resource as applied to the quantification of RNAseq data.

Pervasive transcription of the human genome produces thousands of previously unidentified long intergenic noncoding RNAs.
TL;DR: It is observed with a large set of RNA-seq data covering a wide array of human tissue types that the majority of the genome is indeed transcribed, corroborating recent observations by the ENCODE project and finding that intergenic regions encode far more long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) than previously described, helping to resolve the discrepancy between the vast amount of observed intergenic transcription and the limited number of previously known linc RNAs.

TL;DR: Changes in an inflammatory response pathway that are present in ∼40% of people diagnosed with schizophrenia are demonstrated, suggesting that therapies aimed at immune system attenuation in schizophrenia may be of direct benefit in the brain.

Precise correction of the dystrophin gene in duchenne muscular dystrophy patient induced pluripotent stem cells by TALEN and CRISPR-Cas9
Hongmei Lisa Li,Fujimoto Naoko,Noriko Sasakawa,Saya Shirai,Tokiko Ohkame,Tetsushi Sakuma,Michihiro Tanaka,Naoki Amano,Akira Watanabe,Hidetoshi Sakurai,Takashi Yamamoto,Shinya Yamanaka,Akitsu Hotta,Akitsu Hotta +13 more
TL;DR: To restore the dystrophin protein, three correction methods were performed in DMD-patient-derived iPSCs, and exon knockin was the most effective approach and provides an important framework for developing iPSC-based gene therapy for genetic disorders using programmable nucleases.

Spatial Clustering for Identification of ChIP-Enriched Regions (SICER) to Map Regions of Histone Methylation Patterns in Embryonic Stem Cells
TL;DR: This Chapter demonstrates in detail how to run SICER to delineate ChIP-enriched regions and assess their statistical significance, and to identify regions of differential enrichment when two chromatin states are compared.
ChIP-Seq: technical considerations for obtaining high-quality data.
TL;DR: Several technical aspects of the ChIP-Seq assay are described that diminish bias and background noise and allow the consistent generation of high-quality data.
