Welcome to CAB at St. Jude

The Transcriptomics Group focuses on transcriptome-wide analysis of differential gene expression and differential splicing of mRNAs including bulk gene expression, single-cell gene expression, translation (the translatome). We also integrate RNA-seq data with other high throughput sequencing data such as epigenomics data to better understand the biology. In addition, the group is interested in establishing analytic/visualization pipelines to support the work of St. Jude investigators.

We are expereinced in data analysis on areas related to:

  • Cancer Biology
  • Cancer Immunotherapy
  • Developmental Biology

We categorized Transcriptomics Analyses into three major topics:

  1. Differential gene expression: Identify differentially expressed gene using high thoughput data such as RNA-seq at both bulk and single cell level.
  2. splicing and fusion detection: Identify alternative splicing and fusion events using RNA-seq.
  3. Data integation: Integrate RNA-seq data with epigenomics data such as DNA methylation to better understand the biology.

Technologies and methods

The CAB transcriptomics is primarily a bioinformatic group that uses a wide range of genomic, bioinformatic, and statistical methods to analyze biological data. The main platforms are:

  • RNA-Seq/SLAM-Seq/scRNA
  • ChIP-Seq
  • ATAC-Seq/scATAC
  • WGBS
