RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

10.2K
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...

Alternative RNA Splicing02:18

Alternative RNA Splicing

21.5K
Alternative RNA splicing is the regulated splicing of exons and introns to produce different mature mRNAs from a single pre-mRNA. Unlike in constitutive splicing where a single gene produces a single type of mRNA, alternative splicing allows an organism to produce multiple proteins from a single gene and plays an important role in protein diversity.
There are five types of alternative RNA splicing that vary in the ways the pre-mRNA segments are removed or retained in the mature mRNA. The first...

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
  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Alternative polyadenylation (APA) generates diverse mRNA transcripts with varying 3' ends, crucial for gene regulation.
  • Existing computational methods for APA analysis from RNA-seq data exhibit limitations in accuracy and bias towards 3' UTRs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel computational tool, APA identification and quantification (APAIQ), for precise transcriptome-wide APA analysis.
  • To overcome the limitations of current APA detection methods using RNA-seq data.

Main Methods:

  • APAIQ was developed for accurate identification and quantification of polyadenylation sites (PAS) and polyadenylation usage (PAU) from RNA-seq data.
  • Performance comparison with existing tools (DaPars2, Aptardi, mountainClimber, SANPolyA, QAPA) using 3' end-seq data as a benchmark.

Main Results:

  • APAIQ demonstrated superior performance in PAS identification and PAU quantification compared to established methods.
  • Application of APAIQ to 421 liver cancer patient RNA-seq samples identified over 540 tumor-associated APA events.
  • Experimental validation confirmed two novel intronic polyadenylation events linked to cancer.

Conclusions:

  • APAIQ provides an accurate and robust method for analyzing APA events across large-scale RNA-seq datasets.
  • The tool facilitates the discovery of novel APA events, including those relevant to cancer biology.
