Bulk RNA-seq Assessment of Murine Spleen Using a Portable MinION Sequencing Device
1Department of Anaesthesiology, Saiseikai Matsuyama Hospital, Matsuyama, Ehime, Japan.
Abstract:
Comprehensive profiling of the transcriptome reflects the dynamic changes in complex regulator interactions between genes and proteins in the pathological processes of autoimmune disease. To enable real-time adaptive sampling and run rapid sequencing with maximal expected readings of 50 Gb of data with accessibility to clinicians, basic researchers, and even students, a portable and affordable sequencing device, MinION, was employed in our laboratory for both basic and clinical studies. Here, the workflow of bulk RNA-seq in murine spleen using MinION is introduced. The methodology of both laboratory library preparation and the establishment of a bioinformatic pipeline are included in this chapter.
