I trust everyone is doing well.
From RNA-seq data analysis of adenocarcinoma samples with the GTF annotation of ensembl's GCh38, I obtained the raw quantification using RSEM. Subsequently, I used edgeR to perform differential expression analysis by comparing my adenocarcinoma vs. control samples. As a statistical design, those genes and lncRNAs with a lfc > 2 and a p-value < 0.05 by BH method were considered differentially expressed.
I currently hold a large list which includes genes and lncRNAs differentially expressed and as a main task, I need to identify from this list, which ones correspond to lncRNAs and mRNAs. Perhaps anyone could provide me a hint of a program or method to strictly distinguish lncRNAs from mRNAs in order to identify them from this list?
Thanks in advance!
Can you clarify what the problem is? The gene biotype is annotated in the Ensembl GTF so you can simply look it up. Where do you get stuck?
If I got a list of differentially expressed genes, how can I identify lncRNAs that are differentially expressed?
