Description
These tracks are miRNA expression levels of 78 primary cell types and 42 cancer/immortalized cell lines. Data was obtained from three sources. The first source was from McCall MN et al.
Cells were generally grown in culture or were flow sorted. The second source was FANTOM5 data, which was obtained from commercially purchased primary cell lines grown in culture.
The third source was from Juzenas et al. The isolation technique was magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) from total blood. From the first source, all samples had
greater than 1 million miRNA reads. For the second and third sources, all samples had > 500,000 miRNA reads. Each cell type may be the average of several similar cells or the data from
a single cell line/culture. That can be noted on the more detailed graph. Some cell types sequenced by the FANTOM5 group will not appear here as they had <500,000 miRNA reads. In total, 545 RNA-seq data sets were used from across the sources. Data is expressed in reads per million miRNA reads (RPM) through analysis performed through the miRNA alignment software miRge. This data is not otherwise normalized.
A separate processing step was carried out, although not part of the display, which normalized across the McCall et al. samples via the RUV (Remove Unwanted Variation) process. Please see Process 2 in
the Methods section for more information. This data is not log normalized.
Display Conventions and Configuration
Samples are color coded, using the GTEx color palate to indicate similar cell types. Individual cells can be toggled on/off using the "Go to Primary cells updated track controls" tool. The track is best viewed with the Log10(x+1)transform unselected and the view limits
maximum set to 50,000 RPM or similar.
Methods
Process 1
Data was obtained from the Sequence Read Archive or from primary cells grown in culture. Fastq files were processed with miRge for counting miRNAs. miRNAs were normalized to reads per million miRNA reads (RPM).
Process 2
Additional processing was performed with the Remove Unwanted Variation (RUV) method to normalize across samples. The miRNA matrix file with RUV values for each miRNA for the McCall et al data sets can be found here: Primary cells and Cancer cells.
Notes
For a full description of the method, please see the methods section of the manuscript below (McCall et al 2017).
