Pipeliner: A Nextflow-Based Framework for the Definition of Sequencing Data Processing Pipelines

Anthony Federico, Tanya Karagiannis, Kritika Karri, Dileep Kishore, Yusuke Koga, Joshua D. Campbell, Stefano Monti. Abstract The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies has led to the need for flexible and user-friendly data preprocessing platforms. The Pipeliner framework provides an out-of-the-box solution for processing various types of sequencing data. It combines the Nextflow scripting language and Anaconda package ……

scruff: an R/Bioconductor package for preprocessing single-cell RNA-sequencing data

Zhe Wang, Junming Hu, W. Evan Johnson, Joshua D. Campbell Abstract Background: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) enables the high-throughput quantification of transcriptional profiles in single cells. In contrast to bulk RNA-seq, additional preprocessing steps such as cell barcode identification or unique molecular identifier (UMI) deconvolution are necessary for preprocessing of data from single cell protocols. R packages that ……

Alterations in Bronchial Airway miRNA Expression for Lung Cancer Detection

Ana B. Pavel, Joshua D. Campbell, Gang Liu, David Elashoff, Steven Dubinett, Kate Smith, Duncan Whitney, Marc E. Lenburg and Avrum Spira. Abstract We have previously shown that gene expression alterations in normal-appearing bronchial epithelial cells can serve as a lung cancer detection biomarker in smokers. Given that miRNAs regulate airway gene expression responses to smoking, ……
