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) typically treats doublets as artifacts.
However, doublets can represent genuine cell-cell interactions, particularly juxtacrine signaling.
These interactions are crucial in complex tissues like the tumor microenvironment.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a computational pipeline for identifying and analyzing biologically relevant doublets in scRNA-seq data.
To leverage doublets for understanding intercellular communication and its role in disease.

Main Methods:

Developed Cell type-specific Interaction Analysis using Doublets in scRNA-seq (CIcADA) pipeline.
CIcADA uses multi-label cell type scores to identify putative doublets.
Compares identified doublets against synthetic doublets to characterize interaction dynamics.

Main Results:

CIcADA successfully identified biologically meaningful doublets in scRNA-seq tumor datasets.
Identified doublets consistently showed upregulation of immune response genes.
This suggests doublets can serve as indicators of immune cell interactions and function.

Conclusions:

Doublets in scRNA-seq are not always artifacts and can provide valuable biological insights.
CIcADA offers a novel approach to analyze intercellular communication through doublets.
This method has potential implications for understanding tumor immunology and identifying prognostic indicators.
