RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

9.8K
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 Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.4K
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...

2D NMR: Homonuclear Correlation Spectroscopy (COSY)

895
Homonuclear correlation spectroscopy, or COSY, is a 2-dimensional NMR technique that provides information about coupled protons. Typically, the geminal and vicinal coupling are observed. For example, consider the COSY spectrum of ethyl acetate, where its 1D proton NMR spectrum is plotted along the vertical and horizontal axes with their corresponding chemical shift scale. Three spots on the diagonal corresponding to the three peaks in the 1D proton spectrum are called diagonal peaks. The COSY...

2D NMR: Overview of Homonuclear Correlation Techniques

151
Homonuclear correlation spectroscopy (COSY) is a powerful technique used in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to study the correlations between nuclei of the same type within a molecule. It provides information about scalar couplings between adjacent nuclei, which helps determine connectivity and structural information. There are several COSY variants, each with its unique strengths and experimental parameters.
COSY90 is the standard two-dimensional (2D) COSY experiment that...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Structural Biology

Background:

  • RNA secondary structure is crucial for function, yet current bioinformatics tools primarily use sequence alignment, not structural similarity.
  • High-throughput methods generate vast RNA structural data, necessitating efficient comparison techniques.
  • Existing k-mer based similarity methods are computationally efficient but not yet applied to RNA secondary structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a fast and efficient method for comparing RNA secondary structures.
  • To enable navigation of large RNA structural datasets by identifying structural similarities.
  • To bridge the gap between sequence-based and structure-based RNA analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced bpRNA-CosMoS, a method utilizing k-mers and length-weighted cosine similarity for RNA structure comparison.
  • Represented RNA structures using bpRNA structure arrays with single-character codes for nucleotide structural categories.
  • Implemented "fuzzy counting" for optional flexibility against minor structural variations.

Main Results:

  • bpRNA-CosMoS computes similarity scores by comparing k-mer count vectors derived from structure arrays.
  • A length-weighted penalty was incorporated to accurately compare RNA structures of differing lengths.
  • The method provides a robust and efficient approach for identifying structural comparisons within large datasets.

Conclusions:

  • bpRNA-CosMoS offers a significant advancement in RNA secondary structure analysis.
  • The tool facilitates efficient comparison of RNA structures, complementing existing sequence-based methods.
  • The developed method is publicly available for broader research application.
