RNA-seq

10.1K
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...

Nucleic Acid Structure

6.2K
The pentose sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, while in RNA the pentose sugar is ribose. The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the ribose's second carbon and a hydrogen on the deoxyribose's second carbon. The phosphate residue attaches to the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of the 3′ carbon of the sugar of the next nucleotide, which forms  a 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage.

MicroRNAs

21.4K
MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns—non-coding regions of a gene—or intergenic regions—stretches of DNA present between genes. Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Synthetic Biology

Background:

  • MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of gene expression.
  • Targeted miRNA synthesis is essential for research and therapeutic applications.
  • Existing methods for producing miRNA pools can be inefficient.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, efficient method for synthesizing pools of microRNAs.
  • To create microRNA pools targeting breast cancer cells.
  • To investigate strategies for improving product yields in microRNA pool synthesis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Tandem Oligonucleotide Synthesis strategy for simultaneous synthesis of multiple miRNAs on a single solid support.
  • Employed 2'/3'OAc nucleotide phosphoramidites to create a cleavable moiety for separating individual miRNAs.
  • Investigated both linear and branched (dendrimer) pool configurations to optimize yields.

Main Results:

  • Successfully synthesized pools of up to four consecutive miRNAs (miR129-1-5p, miR31, miR206, and miR27b-3p) with a total length of 88 nucleotides.
  • Developed phosphoramidites that enable post-synthesis cleavage to release individual miRNAs.
  • Demonstrated high yields for the synthesized microRNA pools.
  • Compared product yields between linear and branched microRNA dendrimer pools.

Conclusions:

  • The Tandem Oligonucleotide Synthesis strategy offers an efficient approach for producing high-yield microRNA pools.
  • This method addresses the increasing demand for synthetic RNA oligomers in research and technology.
  • The developed technique is applicable for creating custom microRNA pools for various applications, including cancer research.
