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...

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

12.2K
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
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) is a key technique for quantifying individual RNA transcripts.
  • Existing methods for transcriptome-wide profiling can be costly and complex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a scalable, cost-effective method for transcriptome-wide RNA profiling.
  • To adapt multiplexed smFISH for high-throughput analysis of mRNA abundance.

Main Methods:

  • RNA sequential probing of targets (SPOTs) was developed by scaling up multiplexed smFISH.
  • The method was applied to profile 10,212 different mRNAs in mouse fibroblast and embryonic stem cells.

Main Results:

  • SPOTs successfully quantified a large number of mRNAs at the transcriptome level.
  • The method demonstrated accuracy, flexibility, and low cost compared to sequencing-based approaches.

Conclusions:

  • SPOTs provides a powerful new tool for transcriptome profiling.
  • This technique offers an accessible alternative for researchers studying gene expression at a global scale.
