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...

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...

Area of Science:

Molecular Biology
Bioinformatics
Genomics

Background:

Polyadenylation is crucial for RNA regulation, affecting mRNA decay, translation, and isoform specificity.
Direct RNA sequencing offers full-length RNA analysis, enabling transcriptome-wide poly(A) tail studies.
Existing poly(A) tail estimation tools lack comprehensive benchmarking against gold-standard datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce BoostNano, a novel deep learning tool for poly(A) tail length estimation.
To benchmark BoostNano against established tools (tailfindr, nanopolish) and a deep learning tool (Dorado).
To evaluate tool performance using synthetic RNA standards with known poly(A) tail lengths.

Main Methods:

Development of the BoostNano deep learning model for poly(A) estimation.
Evaluation of four tools (BoostNano, tailfindr, nanopolish, Dorado) on synthetic RNA datasets (Sequin, eGFP).
Analysis of tool accuracy based on known ground-truth poly(A) tail lengths.

Main Results:

Tool performance varied depending on poly(A) tail length and sample type.
Averaging poly(A) estimates over multiple reads improved accuracy.
Dorado demonstrated superior performance with fast runtimes, low mean error, and ease of use.

Conclusions:

Dorado is recommended for poly(A) tail length estimation in direct RNA sequencing.
Accurate poly(A) tail analysis is vital for understanding transcript stability and regulation.
This benchmark provides a reference for improving transcriptome analysis and RNA regulatory studies.
