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 Structure01:25

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.

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:

  • Computational Biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Traditional RNA sequence alignment methods for identifying common structural elements can be biased and inaccurate.
  • Covariance models (CMs) support evolutionary formation of double helices but may miss motifs due to RNA's dynamic nature and alternative folds.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present D-ORB, a novel system of algorithms designed to identify overrepresented motifs in RNA secondary conformational landscapes.
  • To overcome the limitations of existing methods in accurately modeling RNA structural motifs.

Main Methods:

  • D-ORB employs algorithms to compare motif overrepresentation in a target RNA family against unrelated sequences.
  • The system generates a non-pseudoknotted secondary structure, a deep neural network classifier, and two decision trees.
  • It is accessible via an easy-to-use website for user-submitted RNA families.

Main Results:

  • D-ORB successfully models Rfam families by fitting overrepresented motifs within their structures, with over a hundred families already modeled.
  • The statistical approach effectively derives the structural composition of RNA families.
  • The system provides accurate non-pseudoknotted secondary structure predictions.

Conclusions:

  • D-ORB is a valuable tool for RNA sequence analysis and structural modeling, offering an improved approach over traditional methods.
  • Its user-friendly interface and advanced algorithms make it an essential resource for RNA structure research.
  • The system enhances the understanding of RNA structural composition and evolutionary patterns.
