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...

RNA Editing02:23

RNA Editing

9.5K
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification where a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) nucleotide sequence is changed by base insertion, deletion, or modification. The extent of RNA editing varies from a few hundred bases, in mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes, to a just single base, in nuclear genes of mammals. Even a single base change in the pre-mRNA can convert a codon for one amino acid into the codon for another amino acid or a stop codon. This type of re-coding can significantly affect the...

RNA Structure

Overview
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.
Different Types of RNA Have the Same Basic Structure
There are three main types of ribonucleic acid (RNA): messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). All three RNA types consist of a...

Bacterial RNA Polymerase00:43

Bacterial RNA Polymerase

31.6K
Unlike eukaryotes, bacteria use a single RNA Polymerase (RNAP) to transcribe all genes. The different subunits of bacterial RNAPhave distinct functions. The multisubunit structure of the bacterial RNAP helps the enzyme to maintain catalytic function, facilitate assembly, interact with DNA and RNA, and self-regulate its activity.
In most genes, the transcription site is a single base present upstream of the coding sequence. Though RNAP is a catalytically efficient enzyme, it does not recognize...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Pseudouridine (Ψ) is the most abundant RNA modification, found in various RNA types including mRNA.
  • Despite its prevalence, the precise distribution, functions, and regulatory mechanisms of Ψ, particularly in mRNA, remain largely unknown.
  • A comprehensive understanding of the Ψ landscape across the transcriptome is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a highly effective computational model for predicting pseudouridine sites in RNA.
  • To characterize the sequence features associated with pseudouridylation.
  • To enable large-scale analysis of the pseudouridine landscape and its functional implications.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a convolutional neural network (CNN) model named PseudoUridyLation Site Estimator (PULSE).
  • PULSE architecture includes alternating convolution/pooling layers and a fully-connected network to learn patterns from local sequence information.
