RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific primer.

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while microarray-based...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Second-generation sequencing enables large-scale genome projects, necessitating genome-wide gene function annotation.
  • Genome annotation remains a significant challenge for tasks like mapping, assembly, and visualization, despite advances in sequencing technology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rapid and accurate method for annotating new genomes using existing annotated genomes as references.
  • To introduce the Rapid Annotation Transfer Tool (RATT) for efficient genome annotation.

Main Methods:

  • Developed RATT, a tool that transfers gene annotations from a high-quality reference genome to a new genome.
  • The method relies on identifying conserved synteny between the reference and target genomes.
  • Annotation transfer is performed using conserved synteny.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated rapid annotation of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome in under five minutes.
  • Successfully annotated a 2.5 Mb chromosome from a malaria parasite with high accuracy and speed.
  • RATT requires only modest computational resources for efficient genome annotation.

Conclusions:

  • RATT provides a fast and accurate solution for genome annotation, particularly for new or unannotated genomes.
  • The tool leverages conserved synteny for reliable annotation transfer.
  • RATT significantly reduces the time and computational cost associated with genome annotation.
