RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

10.4K
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

3.6K
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:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Nanopore sequencing offers efficient and unbiased transcriptome measurement.
  • Existing transcript identification methods require reference genomes, limiting studies on non-model organisms or novel transcripts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce RATTLE, a computational tool for reference-free transcript reconstruction and quantification.
  • To enable transcriptome analysis using only Nanopore sequencing reads.

Main Methods:

  • Developed RATTLE, a novel algorithm for de novo transcript assembly and abundance estimation.
  • Validated RATTLE using simulated datasets, isoform spike-ins, human tissues, and cell line data.

Main Results:

  • RATTLE accurately reconstructs transcript sequences and quantifies their abundances.
  • The tool demonstrates good scalability with increasing numbers of transcripts.
  • Performance was validated across diverse experimental datasets.

Conclusions:

  • RATTLE provides a robust solution for reference-free transcriptome analysis.
  • This tool expands the scope of transcriptomic studies to include species lacking reference genomes.
  • RATTLE facilitates the identification of novel or disease-specific transcripts.
