RNA-seq

RNA-seq

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 Profiling

Ribosome Profiling

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:

Cellular Biology
Molecular Biology
Microscopy

Background:

Analyzing cellular structures and molecular locations is crucial for biological research.
Super-resolution microscopy enables visualization of cellular dynamics beyond the light diffraction limit.
Existing super-resolution methods face challenges in detecting small RNAs (sRNAs) due to fluorophore limitations, autofluorescence, and lack of multiplexing.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel super-resolution imaging protocol for accurate detection and localization of sRNAs.
To overcome the limitations of current techniques in sRNA visualization and quantitation.
To enable multiplexed imaging of sRNAs at nanometer resolution.

Main Methods:

Developed a sRNA-PAINT protocol combining locked nucleic acid probes with DNA PAINT technology.
Utilized VARNISH probes with distinct docking strands for sequential imaging.
Applied the method to maize anthers for visualizing developmental sRNAs.

Main Results:

Achieved sub-20 nm resolution for sRNA detection.
Successfully located and quantitated specific sRNA targets in maize anthers.
Demonstrated the multiplexing capability of the sRNA-PAINT protocol.

Conclusions:

sRNA-PAINT offers a powerful tool for high-resolution imaging and quantitation of sRNAs.
The method overcomes key limitations of existing techniques, enabling multiplexed analysis.
This advancement facilitates deeper understanding of sRNA roles in biological processes.
