Next-generation sequencing has been widely used for the genome-wide profiling of histone modifications, transcription factor binding and gene expression through chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) and cDNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Here, researchers from the Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences describe a ...

Scientists at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile have uncovered the diversity of non-canonical splice sites at the human transcriptome using deep transcriptome profiling. They mapped a total of 3.7 billion human RNA-seq reads and developed a set of stringent ...

Alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing remodels the human transcriptome in a spatiotemporal manner during normal development and differentiation. Here researchers from the University of California, Berkeley explored the landscape of transcript diversity in the erythroid lineage by RNA-seq analysis of five ...

Splicing factor SRSF10 is known to function as a sequence-specific splicing activator. Here, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences used RNA-seq coupled with bioinformatics analysis to identify the extensive splicing network regulated by SRSF10 in chicken cells. They found ...
