Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.9K
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

11.1K
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
  • RNA Biology

Background:

  • Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) regulate gene expression.
  • Medium-sized ncRNAs (msRNAs) are challenging to detect with standard RNA sequencing.
  • Accurate detection of msRNAs is crucial for understanding gene regulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a modified RNA sequencing protocol (msRNAseq) for precise detection of msRNAs.
  • To identify novel msRNAs and characterize their functions.
  • To investigate the role of msRNAs in cellular processes and disease.

Main Methods:

  • Development of msRNA-sequencing (msRNAseq), a modified RNA sequencing protocol.
  • Application of msRNAseq to human and murine cells.
  • Computational analysis pipeline for msRNA identification.
  • Characterization of identified msRNAs, including POLAR, a POLIII-derived transcript.

Main Results:

  • msRNAseq identified approximately 1800 msRNA loci, including over 300 putatively novel msRNAs.
  • Characterization of POLAR, a novel msRNA transcribed antisense to the POLR3E locus by POLIII.
  • POLAR exhibits a short half-life, localizes to paraspeckles (PSPs), and associates with PSP-associated proteins.

Conclusions:

  • msRNAseq is an effective method for identifying functional msRNAs.
  • The discovery of POLAR and other msRNAs opens new avenues for research into their roles in cells, development, and diseases.
  • This work provides a foundation for exploring the significance of msRNAs in biological systems.
