Alternative polyadenylation (APA) plays an important role in posttranscriptional gene regulation such as transcript stability and translation efficiency. However, our knowledge about APA dynamics at the single-cell level is largely unexplored. Researchers at Zhengzhou University have developed single-cell polyadenylation sequencing ...

Recent advances in single-cell sequencing technologies have provided unprecedented opportunities to measure the gene expression profile and RNA velocity of individual cells. However...

Bulk RNA-sequencing technologies have provided invaluable insights into host and bacterial gene expression and associated regulatory networks. Nevertheless, the majority of these approaches...

UCSC scientists point to introners as the source of the vast majority of introns, a source of molecular complexity unique to eukaryotes One of the most long-standing, fundamental mysteries of biology surrounds the poorly understood origins of introns. Introns are ...

Tumor behavior is intricately dependent on the oncogenic properties of cancer cells and their multi-cellular interactions. To understand these dependencies within the wider microenvironment, Researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute studied over 270,000 single-cell transcriptomes and 100 microdissected whole ...

Over the last decade, single-cell sequencing has transformed many fields. It has enabled the unbiased molecular phenotyping of even whole organisms with unprecedented cellular resolution...

Cancers are often defined by the dysregulation of specific transcriptional programs; however, the importance of global transcriptional changes is less understood. Hypertranscription is the genome-wide increase in RNA output. Hypertranscription’s prevalence, underlying drivers, and prognostic significance are undefined in primary ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is currently one of the most powerful techniques available to study the transcriptional response of thousands of...

RNA molecules can form secondary and tertiary structures that can regulate their localization and function. Using enzymatic or chemical probing together with high-throughput sequencing, secondary structure can be mapped across the entire...

The technology of single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has gained massively in popularity as it allows unprecedented insights into cellular heterogeneity as well as identification and characterization of (sub-)cellular populations. Furthermore...
