RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

12.3K
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

4.2K
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:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics
  • Transcriptomics

Background:

  • Eukaryotic mRNA transcripts feature a 5'-end cap structure.
  • Cap Analysis Gene Expression (CAGE) utilizes this cap for RNA analysis.
  • Previous CAGE protocols required substantial RNA input.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an optimized nanoCAGE protocol.
  • To enable transcriptome profiling from minimal RNA amounts (50 ng).
  • To improve genome-wide mapping of transcription start sites.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an improved nanoCAGE library preparation protocol.
  • Optimized key library preparation steps for 5'-end selection and size distribution.
  • Utilized high-throughput sequencing on Illumina platforms.

Main Results:

  • Successfully prepared CAGE libraries from as little as 50 ng of total RNA.
  • Achieved libraries with improved 5'-end selection and size distribution.
  • Demonstrated high-throughput sequencing efficiency on MiSeq and HiSeq.

Conclusions:

  • nanoCAGE is recommended for transcriptome profiling with limited RNA.
  • The improved protocol is ideal for genome-wide transcription start site mapping.
  • This method enhances transcript identification and promoter region analysis.
