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...

Background:

Skeletal remains are common forensic samples requiring age estimation.
Previous DNA methylation studies have not assessed bone-specific age prediction accuracy.
Ribs are frequently recovered forensic specimens, necessitating a dedicated age prediction model.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a DNA methylation-based age prediction model for postmortem rib samples.
To investigate the influence of tissue type on DNA methylation age prediction accuracy.
To explore the potential applicability of bone-derived models across different skeletal elements.

Main Methods:

DNA methylation levels at eight CpG sites in ELOVL2, FHL2, KLF14, and FAM123C genes were analyzed using pyrosequencing.
Models were developed using 81 postmortem rib samples and 112 postmortem blood samples.
Cross-tissue model application and exploratory analysis of sternum, rib, and frontal bone samples were performed.

Main Results:

The rib-derived age prediction model achieved an R² of 0.908 (MAD: 4.813 years training, 5.084 years testing).
Blood-derived models showed slightly higher accuracy (R²=0.927) but cross-tissue application resulted in significant bias.
No significant differences in methylation or age estimates were found across sternum, rib, and frontal bone samples in exploratory analysis.

Conclusions:

A robust DNA methylation-based age prediction model for rib samples was established.
Tissue-specific calibration is critical for accurate epigenetic age estimation in forensic applications.
Preliminary evidence suggests potential cross-bone applicability, requiring further validation in larger cohorts.
