Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Measuring gene expression levels in the cell is an important tool in biomedical sciences.
It can be used in new drug development, disease diagnostics and many other areas.
Currently, two most popular platforms for measuring gene expression are microarrays and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq).
Making the gene expression results more comparable between these two platforms is an important topic which has not yet been investigated enough.

In this thesis, we present a novel method, called PREBS, that addresses this issue.
Our method adjusts RNA-seq data computational processing in a way that makes the resulting gene expression measures more similar to microarray based gene expression measures.
We compare our method against two other RNA-seq processing methods, RPKM and MMSEQ, and evaluate each method's agreement with microarrays by calculating correlations between the platforms.
We show that our method reaches the highest level of agreement among all of the methods in absolute expression scale and has a similar level of agreement as the other methods in differential expression scale.

Additionally, this thesis provides some background on gene expression, its measurement and computational analysis of gene expression data.
Moreover, it gives a brief literature review on the past microarray{RNA-seq comparisons.
