11/21/2014
Prof. Megherbi of CMINDS recently received recognition from International Research Partnership and Collaboration in big data analytics and its application in the life sciences, personalized 聽and translational medicine. The national and international collaborative research findings, 聽related to comparison of RNA-seq and microarray data from large samples treated with diverse toxic drugs that highlights a dependency of cross-platform concordance on treatment effect, 聽were published in an article titled 鈥�The concordance between RNA-seq and microarray data depends on chemical treatment and transcript abundance鈥�, 聽which recently appeared in . Ultimately, one of the broader impacts of these studies and research findings will enable RNA-seq to be applied more broadly in analyzing large cohorts for discovery research and clinical use.
