Velculescu VE et al (1995) Serial analysis of gene expression.Kapranov P et al (2007) RNA maps reveal new RNA classes and a possible function for pervasive transcription.Additionally, we propose a post-processing pipeline using the latest software tools to conduct further studies on the filtered data, including the reconstruction of mRNA transcripts for functional analyses and phylogenetic classification of a community using the ribosomal RNA. In this chapter, we demonstrate a computational technique for filtering rRNA from total RNA using the software SortMeRNA. Numerous chemical and computational methods exist to separate families of RNA prior to conducting further downstream analyses, primarily suitable for isolating mRNA or rRNA from a total RNA sample. Species identification is mainly established using the ribosomal RNA genes, whereas the behavior and functionality of a community is revealed by the messenger RNA of the expressed genes. Software tools designed for deciphering metatranscriptomic data fall under two main categories: the first is to reassemble millions of short nucleotide fragments produced by high-throughput sequencing technologies into the original full-length transcriptomes for all organisms within a sample, and the second is to taxonomically classify the organisms and determine their individual functional roles within a community. High-quality total RNA is a bountiful mixture of ribosomal, transfer, messenger and other noncoding RNAs, where each family of RNA is vital to answering questions concerning the hidden microbial world. Metatranscriptomic data contributes another piece of the puzzle to understanding the phylogenetic structure and function of a community of organisms.
