RNA-Sequencing (RNA-seq) is now commonly used to reveal quantitative spatiotemporal snapshots of the transcriptome, the structures of transcripts (splice variants and fusions) and landscapes of expressed mutations. However, standard approaches for library construction typically require relatively high amounts of input ...

Experimental procedures for preparing RNA-seq and single-cell (sc) RNA-seq libraries are based on assumptions regarding their underlying enzymatic reactions. Here, researchers at the University of Warwick show that the fairness of these assumptions varies within libraries: coverage by sequencing reads ...

from Nature Methods by Jeremy E Wilusz The use of high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has revealed an extraordinarily diverse population of functional RNAs present in cells. However, current approaches poorly detect RNAs that are highly modified and/or extensively folded, such ...
