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...

Background:

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is crucial for understanding cellular heterogeneity.
Assessing technical variation and identifying subtle gene expression changes in small cell populations remains challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel scRNA-seq technique, MR-seq, for statistically evaluating technical variation.
To enable reliable identification of differentially expressed genes between minimal cell numbers.

Main Methods:

MR-seq involves measuring each single cell twice to allow for repeated transcriptome assessment.
Statistical methods are employed to analyze technical variation and gene expression differences.
The technique was applied to early mouse embryos at 2-, 4-, and 8-cell stages.

Main Results:

MR-seq demonstrated comparable sensitivity and reproducibility to standard scRNA-seq.
The novel method significantly increased the positive predictive value for detecting differential gene expression.
Hundreds of candidate intra-embryonic heterogeneous genes were identified in early mouse embryos.

Conclusions:

MR-seq provides a robust approach for statistically assessing technical variation in scRNA-seq.
The technique is particularly valuable for identifying differentially expressed genes in small cell populations.
MR-seq advances the study of gene expression heterogeneity in early embryonic development.
