Experiment | Data type | Output | Application for network modeling |
---|---|---|---|
RNA-seq/scRNA-seq | transcriptomics | sequences of expressed transcripts | inferring regulatory relationships between gene expression levels |
ATAC-seq/scATAC-seq | chromatin conformation | sequences of DNA that are in an open conformation | identifying DNA sequences that are undergoing epigenetic regulation and which regions can express transcripts |
Methyl-seq/scMethyl-seq | DNA methylation | methylated regions of DNA | identifying DNA sequences that are methylated and are thus unlikely to be able to express transcripts |
ChIP-seq/scChIP-seq | protein binding to DNA | sequences of DNA with a particular protein/proteins bound | determining where particular regulatory proteins are binding in the genome |
Protein mass spectrometry | proteomics | abundance of molecules with specific mass/charge ratio | estimate protein abundance and protein interaction networks |
Protein microarrays | proteomics | abundance of a set of proteins | estimate protein abundance and protein interaction networks for a particular set of proteins |
CyTOF | proteomics | abundance and location of a set of proteins | estimate protein abundance and protein interaction networks for a particular set of proteins, including a spatial element |
CITE-seq | transcriptomics and proteomics | single-cell transcriptomics and abundance of cell surface proteins | infer relationships between gene expression and cell surface protein abundance |
Metabolite mass spectrometry | metabolomics | abundance of molecules with specific mass/charge ratio | estimate the relationships between metabolite levels, to data from other experiments |
NMR spectroscopy | metabolomics | abundances of organic and some inorganic molecules | estimate the relationships between metabolite levels, to data from other experiments |
