RNA-seq

9.9K
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...

Background:

  • Transfer RNA (tRNA) can be cleaved into tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs).
  • tRFs regulate gene expression and are involved in physiological and pathological processes.
  • Current methods for tRF detection are time-consuming and resource-intensive, especially for precious samples.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a universal and cost-effective method for tRF identification.
  • To enable simultaneous detection of multiple tRFs in a single reaction.

Main Methods:

  • A novel approach based on uniform polyadenylation of all tRFs.
  • Utilizing a universal oligo(dT) primer for reverse transcription.
  • Subsequent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis.

Main Results:
