RNA-seq

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...

Genome Annotation and Assembly

Genome Annotation and Assembly

The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

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...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

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...

Background:

Identifying full-length transcripts from short-read RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data is a significant challenge in genome annotation.
Existing methods often struggle with comprehensive transcript identification and cataloging.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an automated pipeline for accurate genome annotation by integrating diverse RNA sequencing datasets.
To improve the precision and recall of transcript assembly compared to existing tools.

Main Methods:

Developed the Generalized RNA Integration Tool (GRIT), an automated pipeline integrating RNA-seq, cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE), and poly(A)-site-seq data.
Applied GRIT to Drosophila melanogaster data from the modENCODE project.
Compared GRIT's performance against widely used transcript assembly tools.

Main Results:

GRIT recovered the majority of previously annotated transcripts and doubled the total number of cataloged transcripts.
Discovered that 20% of protein-coding genes encode multiple protein-localization signals.
Found genes with multiple polyadenylation sites are more prevalent than alternative splicing or promoters in adult fly heads.
GRIT demonstrated 30% higher precision and recall than leading transcript assembly tools.

Conclusions:

GRIT provides an effective automated solution for high-quality genome annotation.
The pipeline enhances transcript discovery and cataloging, offering a significant advancement over current methods.
Facilitates automated generation of high-quality genome annotations, reducing the need for manual curation.
