RNA-seq03:21

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...

Next-generation Sequencing

87.9K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

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
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Ultra-low coverage sequencing (ULCS) is a key strategy for clinical applications requiring rapid turnaround times.
  • Current high-throughput platforms limit ULCS due to speed constraints.
  • Emerging rapid sequencing platforms like MiSeq and Ion Proton offer new possibilities for ULCS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the performance of MiSeq and Ion Proton platforms for ultra-low coverage sequencing.
  • To evaluate the potential of these rapid platforms for clinical applications, particularly in prenatal diagnosis.
  • To assess the accuracy of sex and aneuploidy detection using ULCS on these platforms.

Main Methods:

  • Performed ultra-low coverage sequencing (<0.1X) on 18 spontaneous abortion fetuses with aneuploidy.
  • Utilized both MiSeq and Ion Proton sequencing platforms for the analysis.
  • Compared platform performance based on data quality, GC bias, and diagnostic accuracy.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences were observed in overall basic data or GC bias between MiSeq and Ion Proton.
  • Both platforms achieved 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity for sex and aneuploidy detection.
  • The study generated crucial performance data for rapid sequencing platforms in ULCS.

Conclusions:

  • MiSeq and Ion Proton platforms are suitable for ultra-low coverage sequencing in clinical settings.
  • These rapid platforms can accurately detect aneuploidy and sex, supporting potential large-scale clinical trials.
  • The findings accelerate the clinical application of ULCS, especially for time-sensitive diagnoses.
