RNA-seq03:21

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...

Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

88.4K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

6.3K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures (RNA:DNA hybrids) vital for cellular processes in mammals.
  • Genome-wide R-loop profiling reveals cell type-specific formation linked to chromatin states during differentiation.
  • Existing computational R-loop prediction methods, limited to DNA sequence, fail to capture cell type specificity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a machine learning approach for predicting mammalian cell type-specific R-loops.
  • To integrate sequence information with high-throughput sequencing signals for improved R-loop prediction.
  • To generate novel, cell type-specific R-loop maps applicable across diverse mammalian systems.

Main Methods:

  • Developed machine learning models trained on human sample data.
  • Utilized transcriptomics, DNA features, chromatin accessibility, and H3K36me3 epigenomic marks as informative datasets.
  • Generated de novo virtual R-loop maps for comparison with experimental data.

Main Results:

  • Achieved highly accurate R-loop predictions using the machine learning models.
  • Identified transcriptomics, DNA features, chromatin accessibility, and H3K36me3 as key predictive features.
  • Demonstrated high concordance between virtual and experimental R-loop maps, capturing cell type specificity.
