Abstract:
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly recognized for its ability to deliver high-resolution and high-throughput HLA genotyping. As a result, there is active interest in applying NGS technologies to perform high volume bone marrow donor recruitment typing. Currently, buccal-based DNA specimens are considered a noninvasive and cost-effective method for registry typing. Here, we describe the feasibility of using long-range PCR and clonal sequencing by Illumina MiSeq to deliver unambiguous HLA typing on buccal-based donor recruitment samples.

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
