Methods to read out naturally occurring or experimentally introduced nucleic acid modifications are emerging as powerful tools to study dynamic cellular processes. The recovery, quantification and...

microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles based on the highly powerful Illumina sequencing technology rely on the construction of cDNA libraries in which adaptor ligation is known to deeply favor some miRNAs over others. This introduces erroneous...

High-throughput sequencing often provides a foundation for experimental analyses in the life sciences. For many such methods, an intermediate layer of bioinformatics data analysis is the genomic signal track constructed by short read mapping...

Over 100 types of chemical modifications have been identified in protein-coding and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, the prevalence, regulation, and function of diverse RNA modifications remain largely unknown. Researchers from the South China University of Technology describe how to annotate, visualize, ...

The advent of single-cell transcriptomics has made rare cell discovery a mainstream component in the downstream analysis pipeline. When the number of profiled cells are in the hundreds, even an outlier cell (singleton) deserves attention. But, the focus shifts to ...

To comprehensively study extracellular small RNAs (sRNA) by sequencing (sRNA-seq), researchers at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center developed a novel pipeline to overcome current limitations in analysis entitled, "Tools for Integrative Genome analysis...

Comparing the abundance of one RNA molecule to another is crucial for understanding cellular functions but most sequencing techniques can target only specific subsets of RNA. In this study, researchers from the Université de Sherbrooke used a new fragmented ribodepleted TGIRT ...

Next generation high-throughput sequencing has enabled sensitive and unambiguous analysis of RNA populations in cells. Here, Stanford University researchers describe a method for isolation and strand...

A new technique developed by scientists at the New York Genome Center (NYGC) represents an important step forward for single-cell RNA sequencing, an advancing field of genomics that provides detailed insights into individual cells and makes it possible to distinguish ...

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) has revolutionized the way in which epigenetic research is conducted. When coupled with fully-sequenced genomes, millions of small RNA (sRNA) reads are mapped to regions of interest and the results scrutinized for clues about epigenetic mechanisms. However, ...
