RNA-seq

10.8K
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...

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Sanger Sequencing

DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Epigenetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • DNA methylation is crucial for gene expression regulation.
  • Current methods for analyzing DNA methylation context have limitations.
  • Long-read sequencing offers potential for comprehensive genomic analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an improved long-read sequencing method for DNA methylation analysis.
  • To enable detailed examination of the chromosomal context of DNA methylation.
  • To overcome limitations of DNA input quantity in methylation studies.

Main Methods:

  • Combined enzymatic base conversion (cytosine to thymine) with nanopore sequencing.
  • Utilized long-range polymerase chain reaction for library construction.
  • Developed a novel analytical pipeline to handle sequencing data with base mismatches.

Main Results:

  • Achieved N50 read lengths of 3.4-7.6 kb with minimal genomic DNA input (1 ng).
  • Successfully mapped chromosomal methylation contexts in breast cancer cell lines and clinical specimens.
  • Identified methylation patterns in cancer-related genes, allele-specific methylated genes, and repetitive regions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method provides high-resolution, long-read DNA methylation analysis.
  • This technique is effective for limited DNA input samples, including clinical specimens.
  • Offers valuable insights into epigenetic regulation and its role in diseases like cancer.
