Robert Kitchen's Biography


Robert Kitchen, Research Associate, Yale University

Robert R. Kitchen is a research associate in the laboratories of Mark Gerstein (dept. of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry) and Angus Nairn (dept. of Psychiatry) at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA. He received his undergraduate degree in astrophysics at the University of Edinburgh in 2007 where he remained to complete a PhD in computational biology & biostatistics in 2011. His research focus is in the field of bioinformatics, developing algorithms for the analysis of high-throughput functional genomic data, specifically relating to the evolution, development, and disorder of the mammalian brain.

Computational Analysis of Exosomal Small-RNA-seq

Introduction to analysis of small RNAs by RNA-sequencing, including best practices for mitigating nuisance contaminants and special considerations for profiling extra-cellular RNAs (exRNAs).  Based on these best practices, we present a software package for the analysis of RNA-seq data obtained from both cellular and extracellular small-RNA preparations.  We extend beyond existing analysis methods used to assess cytosolic micro-RNAs (miRNAs) to specifically address experimental issues that may arise in exRNA profiling, such as variable contamination of ribosomal RNAs, the presence of endogenous non-miRNA small-RNAs, and the presence of exogenous small-RNA molecules derived from a variety of plant, bacteria, and viral species.
