Tag-Seq is a high-throughput approach used for discovering SNPs and characterizing gene expression. In comparison to RNA-Seq, Tag-Seq eases data processing and allows detection of rare mRNA species using only one tag per transcript molecule. However, reduced library complexity raises ...

mRNA polyadenylation, the addition of a poly(A) tail to the 3′-end of pre-mRNA, is a process critical to gene expression and regulation in eukaryotes. To understand the molecular mechanisms governing polyadenylation and other relevant biological processes, it is important to ...

by Natalie McDonald, PhD RNA in the cell is comprised of a variety of populations, including traditional poly-adenylated messenger RNA (polyA RNA), non-adenlyated RNA, which may be coding or regulatory, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and small and micro RNA.  The first ...
