概括
研究人员开发了scUTRquant来测量mRNA转录长度和丰度. 该工具揭示了3'UTR长度变化是一种广泛的调节机制,独立于基因表达水平.
科学领域:
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
- 分子生物学分子生物学
- 生物信息学是一种生物信息学.
背景情况:
- 超过一半的基因产生不同3'未翻译区域 (3'UTR) 长度的mRNA转录.
- 目前的分析方法主要量化mRNA的丰富性,忽略了转录长度变化.
- 3'UTR的长度是由分离点 (CS) 所决定的,这些分离点是关键的监管元素.
研究的目的:
- 从单细胞RNA测序 (scRNA-seq) 数据中开发一种计算管道,用于从单细胞RNA测序 (scRNA-seq) 数据中量化基因和3'UTR异型表达.
- 在众多人类和小鼠细胞类型中绘制分离点 (CS) 地图,并增强现有的注释.
- 研究3'UTR长度调节在基因表达中的作用和患病率.
主要方法:
- 在200多种主要人类和小鼠细胞类型中绘制分离部位 (CS),将GENCODE注释增加了40%.
- 从scRNA-seq数据开发scUTRquant,这是一个计算管道,用于从scRNA-seq数据同时量化基因和3'UTR异型表达.
- 应用 scUTRquant 来分析来自 474 种细胞类型和 2134 个扰动的数据.
主要成果:
- 确定大约一半的CS都是细胞类型特异性的,大多数基因只利用一个或两个主要的3'端.
- 在细胞类型中发现了广泛的3'UTR长度变化,在患病率和协调方面与基因表达变化相比较.
- 观察到3'UTR长度变化主要影响不同基因,而不是由丰度变化调节的基因.
结论:
- 在基因表达中,mRNA丰度和mRNA长度代表了两个基本上独立的调节轴.
- 3'UTR长度变化是影响蛋白质合成的重要和广泛的机制.
- scUTRquant为分析scRNA-seq数据中的3'UTR异型表达提供了一个新的工具.

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.

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.
