RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

11.6K
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

4.0K
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:

  • Single-cell genomics
  • Transcriptomics
  • Molecular biology

Background:

  • Current short-read single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) methods struggle with allele and isoform resolution.
  • Long-read sequencing lacks the depth for large-scale single-cell applications.
  • Accurate quantification of RNA at allele and isoform levels is crucial for understanding cellular heterogeneity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel single-cell RNA sequencing method with enhanced resolution and sensitivity.
  • To enable accurate counting of RNA molecules at allele and isoform levels within individual cells.
  • To facilitate large-scale transcriptomic studies across diverse cell types and states.

Main Methods:

  • Introduction of Smart-seq3, combining full-length transcriptome coverage with 5' unique molecular identifier (UMI) RNA counting.
  • In silico reconstruction of thousands of RNA molecules per cell.
  • Application to mouse strains and human cell types for comparative analysis.

Main Results:

  • Smart-seq3 achieved direct assignment of 60% of reconstructed molecules to allelic origin.
  • 30-50% of reconstructed molecules were assigned to specific isoforms.
  • Substantial differences in isoform usage were identified between mouse strains and human cell types.
  • Smart-seq3 demonstrated significantly increased sensitivity, detecting thousands more transcripts per cell compared to Smart-seq2.

Conclusions:

  • Smart-seq3 overcomes limitations of existing scRNA-seq methods by providing high-resolution allele and isoform information.
  • The method enables sensitive and comprehensive transcriptomic profiling at the single-cell level.
  • Smart-seq3 is poised to advance large-scale characterization of cell types and states across various biological contexts.
