Ribosome Profiling02:24

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...
Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes03:21

Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes

While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.
Small interfering RNAs (siRNA)02:30

Small interfering RNAs (siRNA)

Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, are short regulatory RNA molecules that can silence genes post-transcriptionally, as well as the transcriptional level in some cases. siRNAs are important for protecting cells against viral infections and silencing transposable genetic elements.
In the cytoplasm, siRNA is processed from a double-stranded RNA, which comes from either endogenous DNA transcription or exogenous sources like a virus. This double-stranded RNA is then cleaved by the ATP-dependent...

Area of Science:

  • Plant molecular biology
  • Abiotic stress response
  • Transcriptomics

Background:

  • Investigating cell-specific transcriptomes is vital for understanding plant adaptation to abiotic stress.
  • Challenges include isolating pure cell populations, low RNA yield, and accurate transcriptome representation after amplification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and validate two methods for isolating RNA from specific plant cell types.
  • To enable accurate transcriptome profiling of individual cells for stress response studies.

Main Methods:

  • Single Cell Sampling and Analysis (SiCSA)
  • Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM)
  • RNA isolation, qualitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), quantitative RT-PCR, and genome-wide transcript analyses.

Main Results:

  • Successful isolation of RNA from specific plant cell types using SiCSA and LCM.
  • Demonstrated qualitative and quantitative analysis of isolated RNA for gene expression profiling.

Conclusions:

  • SiCSA and LCM are effective methods for obtaining cell-specific RNA from plants.
  • These techniques facilitate detailed analysis of plant cell transcriptomes, advancing abiotic stress research.
