Hello. I was wondering what kind of information can I obtain if I have transcriptome data and the Dna genome sequence? I'm talking on theoretical bases. I know for a fact that I can start mapping the reads to the genome and start counting the number mapping reads, but after that?
Thank you in advance!
It may be important to specify that you work with viral genomes.
You have a strong memory. :-) I know that I hit the forum with many questions, but I'm still exploring the "world" of bioinformatics. To be fair, my question was on theoretical bases. I made it because I was looking to get a response from the experts to specify some definitions and strategics in mind. That's why I didn't mention the viruses. But still, if you have any information or any suggested paper specific on viruses, it will be appreciated.
This can be dozens of different things, starting from finding mutations, expression analysis, copy number changes, sample classification based on similarities with other samples, co-expression networks and so on. Sounds like you are looking for a project?
Thanks for the answer. Not precisely. I'm studying by making genomic comparisons, and I am trying to understand some definitions and clarify differences between other bioinformatician fields. So that's why I made the answer.
