RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

12.5K
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

4.3K
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:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • High-throughput mRNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is crucial for transcript quantification but often struggles with accurate isoform identification.
  • Existing RNA-Seq methods may lack sufficient accuracy for distinguishing read origins among gene isoforms.
  • Protein domain-domain interactions offer potential prior knowledge to enhance transcript quantification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel network-based method (Net-RSTQ) for integrating protein domain-domain interaction networks with RNA-Seq data.
  • To improve the accuracy of transcript abundance estimation for gene isoforms.
  • To assess the utility of Net-RSTQ in biological sample classification and consistency with experimental validation.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced Network-based method for RNA-Seq-based Transcript Quantification (Net-RSTQ).
  • Integrated protein domain-domain interaction networks with short read alignments.
  • Modeled neighboring transcript expression as Dirichlet priors based on observed positive correlations.
  • Employed alternating optimization of multiple Expectation-Maximization (EM) problems for joint transcript abundance estimation.

Main Results:

  • Net-RSTQ significantly improved isoform transcript quantification accuracy in simulations, especially when isoform co-expressions correlated with interactions.
  • Quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) results demonstrated more consistent isoform proportions with RNA-Seq data across different cell lines.
  • Transcript abundances estimated by Net-RSTQ proved more informative for classifying patient samples in ovarian, breast, and lung cancer datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Conclusions:

  • Net-RSTQ is a promising approach for enhancing isoform quantification accuracy by leveraging protein-protein interaction networks.
  • The method demonstrates improved performance in both simulated and real-world biological data, including cancer genomics.
  • Net-RSTQ provides a valuable tool for transcriptomic analysis, with potential applications in disease classification and biomarker discovery.
