In CenterForStatistics-UGent/SPsimSeq: Semi-parametric simulation tool for bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data

Neuroblastoma bulk RNA-seq data retrieved from Zhang et (2015).

Description

The data contains 498 neuroblastoma tumors. In short, unstranded poly(A)+ RNA sequencing was performed on the HiSeq 2000 instrument (Illumina). Paired-end reads with a length of 100 nucleotides were obtained. To quantify the full transcriptome, raw fastq files were processed with Kallisto v0.42.4 (index build with GRCh38-Ensembl v85). The pseudo-alignment tool Kallisto was chosen above other quantification methods as it is performing equally good but faster. For this study, a subset of 172 tumors (samples) with high-risk disease were selected, forming two groups: the MYCN amplified ($n_1$ = 91) and MYCN non-amplified ($n_2$ = 81) tumours. Sometimes we refer this dataset to us the Zhang data or the Zhang neuroblastoma data. In this package, a subset of 5000 genes (randomly selected) are made available for illustration purpose only.
