まとめ
RNAseqデータに欠けている遺伝子発現値は一般的です. この研究は,境界表現と真の生物学的欠落 (TBM) が欠落したデータに寄与することを明らかにし,無差別な帰算に対して注意を払う.
科学分野:
- ゲノミクス
- バイオ情報学
- 癌 研究
背景:
- 欠落した遺伝子発現値は,RNA配列解析 (RNAseq) で頻繁に見られる問題である.
- RNAseqにおけるデータ欠落,特に肺腺がんにおけるデータ欠落に影響を与える要因は,まだ十分に研究されていない.
研究 の 目的:
- RNAseqデータに欠落している遺伝的および環境的要因を特定する.
- 遺伝子発現レベルとデータ欠落の複雑な関係を調査する.
主な方法:
- 66の肺腺がん腫瘍と隣接する正常組織からのRNAseqデータの分析.
- 喫煙者と非喫煙者の欠席率の比較分析
- タバコの煙に敏感な遺伝子の検査と遺伝子の濃縮分析
主要な成果:
- 基因発現レベルと欠落の間の強い負の関連が観察され,境界線発現が重要な寄与因子であることを示した.
- 欠損率が非常に高い遺伝子の平均発現が観察され,複雑な関係が生じた.
- 証拠は,特に喫煙者における個体間遺伝子発現の変動による真の生物学的欠損 (TBM) の仮説を支持する.
結論:
- 境界線表現とともに,真の生物学的欠落 (TBM) はRNAseqデータにおける重要な要因である.
- 非発現遺伝子の値を割り当てるのは結果を歪める可能性があるため,TBMを特定することは,割り当てるバイアスを防ぐために非常に重要です.
- TBM遺伝子の別々の分析を提唱し,欠けているRNAseq値の無差別な割り算に対して注意を払うことをお勧めします.

Ribosome Profiling
3.6K
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.

Reporter Genes
11.9K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.

Experimental RNAi
6.2K
RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism that inhibits gene expression by suppressing its transcription or activating the RNA degradation process. The mechanism was discovered by Andrew Fire and Craig Mello in 1998 in plants. Today, it is observed in almost all eukaryotes, including protozoa, flies, nematodes, insects, parasites, and mammals. This precise cellular mechanism of gene silencing has been developed into a technique that provides an efficient way to identify and determine the...

Real Time RT-PCR
59.2K
Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or Real-time RT-PCR, is an analytical tool used to determine the expression level of target genes. The method involves converting mRNA to complementary DNA with the help of an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, followed by the PCR amplification of the cDNA. These two processes can be performed simultaneously in a single tube or separately as a two-step reaction.
