Questions I’ll answer today
• Who am I?
• What is the BrainSeq Phase II project?
• What is the recount-brain resource?

View Slide

What defines me
• Bioinformatics
• R and Bioconductor
• Reproducibility and best practices
• Outreach and community building
• Back in 2005 at @LCGUNAM:
I like math and coding; biology provides the challenging problems

Ph.D. overview
The goal was to develop statistical methods and software [...] in
RNA-seq […]. We applied these methods to further our
understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders using the Lieber Institute
for Brain Development human brains collection (> 1000 samples).

DATA ANALYSIS

Focus on being conservative
1.Use well established processing methods
2.Apply strict expression cutoffs
3.Use replication when possible
4.Adjust for RNA quality degradation confounding
• Using the qSVA method
5.Avoid potential batch effects
• Drop problematic samples
6.Take into account correlation at the individual level

DATA ANALYSIS

Main processing steps
1. Quality check (QC) on raw reads (FastQC)
2. Failed QC? Then trim reads (Trimmomatic)
3. Align reads to the genome (HISAT2)
4. Count features (featureCounts + others)
5. Calculate coverage (bam2wig)
6. Quantify transcripts (Salmon)
7. Create count tables (R)
8. Genotype samples (samtools + vcftools)

Differential expression models
• Region-specific for adult or fetal ages
• Using only adult samples or only prenatal samples
• Test for differences between DLFPC and HIPPO
• Development
• Linear age splines with breakpoints at developmental stages
• Test for interaction between age and brain region at these splines
• Case-control
• By brain region
• Test for differences between non-psychiatric controls and individuals with
schizophrenia
• For the first two models, we account for the fact that an individual can have two
correlated samples: one for each brain region
