Abstract Establishing an RNA-associated interaction repository facilitates the system-level understanding of RNA functions. However, as these interactions are distributed throughout various resources, essential prerequisite for effectively applying data requires that they deposited together and annotated with confidence scores. Hence, we have updated database RNAInter (RNA Interactome Database) to version 4.0, which is freely accessible at http://www.rnainter.org or...
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples represent a valuable resource for clinical researches.However, FFPE are usually considered an unreliable source gene expression analysis due to the partial RNA degradation.In this study, through comparing profiles between and paired fresh-frozen (FF) three cancer types, we firstly showed that measurements of thousands genes had at least two-fold change in compared with FF samples.Therefore, transcriptional signature based on risk scores...
It is often difficult to obtain sufficient quantity of RNA molecules for gene expression profiling under many practical situations. Amplification from low-input samples may induce artificial signals. We compared the measurements mRNA samples, 25 pg 1000 mRNA, which were amplified and profiled by Smart-seq, DP-seq CEL-seq techniques using Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform, with those paired high-input (50 ng) samples. Even input, we found that thousands genes had at least 2 folds-change levels in...
Abstract Lung squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) accounts for about 30% of all lung cancer cases. Understanding mutational landscape this subtype in Chinese patients is currently limited.

Due to the heterogeneity of cancer, identifying differentially methylated (DM) CpG sites between a set cancer samples and normal cannot tell us which patients have methylation aberrations in particular DM site.We firstly showed that relative methylation-level orderings (RMOs) within individual lung tissues are highly stable but widely disrupted adenocarcinoma tissues. This finding provides basis using RankComp algorithm, previously developed for differential gene expression analysis at...
Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) partitions cellular contents, underlies the formation of membraneless organelles and plays essential biological roles. To date, most research on LLPS has focused proteins, especially RNA-binding proteins. However, accumulating evidence demonstrated that RNAs can also function as 'scaffolds' play roles in seeding or nucleating granules. better utilize knowledge dispersed published literature, we here introduce RNAPhaSep (http://www.rnaphasep.cn), a...
To detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in small-scale cell line experiments, usually with only two or three technical replicates for each state, the commonly used statistical methods such as significance analysis of microarrays (SAM), limma and RankProd (RP) lack power, while fold change method lacks any control. In this study, we demonstrated that within-sample relative expression orderings (REOs) gene pairs were highly stable among a but often widely disrupted after certain...
