RenalBiopsies_DNA_RNA-seq_analysis

Integrated multi-omics analysis for kidney transplant patients to decipher molecular gene signatures for delayed graft function.

Repository sructure

RNA-seq analysis

• This repository contains script thats reads all raw illumina fastq files from a folder and performs quality control, genome alignment and read summarisation to quantify read counts
• Genome alignment and read summarisation (gene quantification)
• Trim galore for trimming low quality reads fastq files
• Tophat/Bowtie for aligning reads to the updated reference genome (GRCh38) from ensemble
• Scripts for analysis of RNA-seq data for differential gene expression (DGE) using DESeq2

BS-seq analysis

Scripts for analysis of DNA-seq to extract methylation changes (epigenetic) footprints on CpG islands

Epigenetics

Scripts for mapping differential gene expression signatures and associated methylation status

Glossary notation on samples

• b - pre perfused kidney patients
• b1 - post perfused kidney patients
• DGF - Delayed graft function conditioned patients
• IGF - No Delayed graft function patients

The analysis of these results are published in Aging cell A molecular signature for delayed graft function
