Alternative RNA Splicing02:18

Alternative RNA Splicing

20.5K
Alternative RNA splicing is the regulated splicing of exons and introns to produce different mature mRNAs from a single pre-mRNA. Unlike in constitutive splicing where a single gene produces a single type of mRNA, alternative splicing allows an organism to produce multiple proteins from a single gene and plays an important role in protein diversity.
There are five types of alternative RNA splicing that vary in the ways the pre-mRNA segments are removed or retained in the mature mRNA. The first...

RNA Splicing

Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...

RNA-seq

9.4K
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...

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Large-scale functional genomic data integration accelerates gene function understanding.
  • Lack of isoform-level functional annotations hinders differentiation of gene isoform functions.
  • Existing algorithms typically predict functions at the gene level, not isoform level.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a generic framework for differentiating functions of alternatively spliced isoforms using public RNA-sequencing data.
  • To create an algorithm that identifies 'responsible' isoforms for specific functions and generates isoform-level predictive models.
  • To shift gene function prediction from a gene-centered to an isoform-centered approach.

Main Methods:

  • Interrogation of public RNA-sequencing data at the transcript level.
  • Development of a generic framework for isoform-level function prediction.
  • Cross-validation, protein structure modeling, and experimental validation using mammary tissue data.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated effectiveness in assigning functions to genes, particularly those with multiple isoforms.
  • Showcased robustness to gene expression levels and removal of homologous gene pairs.
  • Experimentally validated predicted isoform functional differences for specific genes (e.g., Cdkn2a, Anxa6) in mouse mammary tissue.

Conclusions:

  • The developed framework is the first to predict and differentiate functions for alternatively spliced isoforms using genomic data.
  • The framework is extendable to various machine learning models and species with alternatively spliced isoforms.
  • This work establishes a new paradigm for isoform-level function prediction, moving beyond gene-level analysis.
