Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University, Dalian, China

Dr. Lou finished his postgraduate education in Dalian Medical University and has gone on to be a neurosurgeon in the Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University. He had received Research training from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Cancer Stem Cell Institute of Dalian MedicalUniversity. He masters the data analysis and visualization pipeline after RNA-seq using R and Linux computer languages and developed an R language package gg.gap, TCGA online analysis web tools, and received a software patent. He formed a WeChat Official Accounts, Called Chris_Life_Science, to share the application of bioinformatics in Medicine. Dr. Lou mainly focuses on the combination of clinical research, scientific research, and bioinformatics, studying the interaction mechanisms between cancer and its microenvironment, and providing a new theoretical basis and scheme for precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Dr. Quan Cheng is a researcher at Central South University, in the Department of Neurosurgery at Xiangya Hospital. Dr. Cheng's work is mainly focused on applying bioinformatics and experiments to study brain tumors. Dr. Cheng has dedicated his research efforts to investigating novel drug targets, exploring the in-depth connection within the immune microenvironment of glioma, establishing potential prognostic signatures for glioma patients.

Collection Overview

Bulk RNA-Seq is usually referred to for the collection of RNA transcripts of tumor tissue. Raw data of RNA-seq can be obtained with high-throughput sequencing and microarrays, or downloaded from open public databases, like the GEO and TCGA databases. To transform raw data into a standard expression matrix, multiples steps are required, including quality control, indexing, mapping, and abundance calculation. After acquiring the standard expression matrix following analysis, reveals the characteristics of the gene expression matrix. For example, differential expression of gene identification and biofunction prediction, like in GO/KEGG enrichment analysis and GSEA enrichment analysis, enable us to understand different gene expressions between groups in depth, as well as in preferential biofunction activation. The cluster algorithm or the WCGNA analysis can group samples based on gene expression for further analysis. Regression algorithms like LASSO or ENET analysis, can be applied to identify prognostic related biomarkers. Machine learning, like the support vector machine and the neural network, can distinguish features among different groups and characterize other data based on those features. Prognostic models, like the nomogram, enable clinical applications. However, most gene expression information cannot be fully analyzed in one study. Allowing for comparisons with traditional experimental research, bulk RNA-Seq analysis provides a comprehensive, informative reference. Therefore, integrating the application of bulk RNA-Seq analysis and experimental research can benefit future study.
