Cleavage and Blastulation01:33

Cleavage and Blastulation

51.6K
After a large-single-celled zygote is produced via fertilization, the process of cleavage occurs while zygotes travel through the uterine tube. Cleavage is a mitotic cell division that does not result in growth. With each round of successive cell division, daughter cells get increasingly smaller.

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

4.4K
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...

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

12.7K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Alternative cleavage of 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) impacts eukaryotic gene expression.
  • Current methods for characterizing cleavage sites require specialized sequencing, limiting large-scale applications.
  • RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) is a versatile tool for genomic analysis, including mutation and splicing detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop KLEAT, an analysis tool for characterizing 3' UTR cleavage sites using standard RNA-seq data.
  • To enable large-scale cohort and clinical studies to analyze 3' UTR processing events.
  • To provide a method compatible with existing RNA-seq workflows.

Main Methods:

  • KLEAT utilizes de novo assembly of RNA-seq data to identify cleavage sites.
  • The tool was validated using ENCODE project cell line RNA-seq libraries.
  • Performance was assessed by comparing KLEAT predictions with matched RNA-seq and RNA-PET libraries.

Main Results:

  • KLEAT demonstrated over 90% positive predictive value in validation studies.
  • High accuracy was achieved with sufficient RNA-seq reads supporting poly(A) tails and RNA-PET read mapping.
  • KLEAT's performance favorably compared to existing RNA-seq pipelines for 3' UTR end reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • KLEAT is an effective tool for characterizing 3' UTR alternative cleavage sites from RNA-seq data.
  • The tool enhances the utility of RNA-seq for studying transcript processing.
  • KLEAT offers a valuable approach for large-scale and clinical genomic analyses.
