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...

Background:

Alternative splicing (AS) is crucial for gene expression regulation and implicated in diseases like cancer.
Bulk RNA sequencing has limitations in capturing cellular heterogeneity and reconstructing full-length isoforms.
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides single-cell resolution but is limited by short read lengths for isoform reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the utility of single-cell long-read sequencing (SCLR-seq) in studying alternative splicing.
To highlight advancements in bioinformatics tools for SCLR-seq data analysis.
To discuss the potential of SCLR-seq in disease research and target discovery.

Main Methods:

Integration of single-cell resolution with long-read RNA sequencing (lrRNA-seq) technologies.
Development and application of bioinformatics pipelines for SCLR-seq data analysis.
Characterization of isoform diversity, splice variants, and fusion transcripts at single-cell resolution.

Main Results:

SCLR-seq overcomes limitations of short-read sequencing by providing full-length isoform information.
Enables accurate quantification of isoform diversity and identification of novel splice variants.
Facilitates the study of cell-specific aberrant splicing events in human diseases.

Conclusions:

SCLR-seq is a transformative technology for understanding isoform regulation and aberrant splicing.
It offers unprecedented isoform-level resolution and cell-type specificity.
Holds significant potential for uncovering novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets in human diseases.
