Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique helps...

What is Gene Expression?

What is Gene Expression?

A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is comprised of nucleotides and proteins are comprised of amino acids, a mediator is required to convert the information encoded in DNA into proteins. This mediator is the messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA copies the blueprint from DNA by a process called transcription. In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus by complementary base-pairing with the DNA template. The mRNA is then processed and...

Summary

Neural transcriptomes share similarities with stem cells but differ from other tissues. Unannotated expression in embryonic brains suggests novel functions in neurogenesis and neural circuit development.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Genomics
Developmental Biology

Background:

The transcriptome links the genome to observable traits (phenome).
Recent RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) studies reveal complex transcriptomes with novel transcripts and functions.
Understanding neural transcriptomes is crucial for deciphering brain development and function.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the characteristics of neural transcriptomes.
To explore the potential functions of previously unannotated transcripts in the brain.
To compare transcriptomes across different developmental stages and tissue types.

Main Methods:

Analysis and comparison of nine RNA-sequencing datasets.
Datasets included stem cells, embryonic brain cortex, and adult whole brain tissues.
Investigated gene and chromosomal expression patterns.

Main Results:

Neural and stem cell transcriptomes exhibit global expression similarity, distinct from liver or muscle.
A high level of unannotated expression was observed in mouse embryonic brains.
Intronic unannotated expression correlated with genes involved in neurogenesis, axon guidance, and neural transmission.

Conclusions:

Neural transcriptomes possess unique global and local expression landscapes.
Previously unknown transcripts in the developing brain cortex may have significant functional roles.
Findings offer insights into novel genes, functions, and regulatory mechanisms in early brain development.
