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...

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...

Area of Science:

Cell Biology
Molecular Biology
Genetics

Background:

Nuclear compartments are membrane-less regions concentrating related molecules.
The identity and dynamics of transcripts within these compartments remain largely unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify transcript populations in Polycomb domains and nuclear speckles.
To quantify transcript dynamics within these nuclear compartments.

Main Methods:

Applied reverse transcribe and tagment (RT&Tag) to human cell lines.
Developed SLAM-RT&Tag combining RNA metabolic labeling with RT&Tag.

Main Results:

Observed unique transcript populations with distinct structures and dynamics in each compartment.
Found exceptionally long genes transcribed near Polycomb domains, transiently associated with chromatin.
Identified nuclear speckles as quality control checkpoints for incompletely spliced polyadenylated transcripts, facilitating splicing.

Conclusions:

Transcripts in Polycomb domains and nuclear speckles undergo different RNA processing.
Nuclear compartmentalization plays a pivotal role in RNA maturation.
