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 ...

Pharmacological perturbation is a powerful tool for understanding mRNA synthesis, but identification of the specific steps of this multi-step process that are targeted by small molecules remains challenging. Here researchers from Harvard Medical School applied strand-specific total RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) ...
Read More »Workflow for Genome-Wide Determination of Pre-mRNA Splicing Efficiency from Yeast RNA-seq Data
Pre-mRNA splicing represents an important regulatory layer of eukaryotic gene expression. In the simple budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, about one-third of all mRNA molecules undergo splicing, and splicing efficiency is tightly regulated, for example, during meiotic differentiation. S. cerevisiae features ...

RNA-seq has become the gold standard for mapping transcriptomes, profiling changes in splicing and measuring gene expression levels. The most widely used method for RNA-seq library construction is the dUTP approach. Although this approach provides high-quality strand-specific RNA-seq profiles, it ...

Massively parallel strand-specific sequencing of RNA (ssRNA-seq) has emerged as a powerful tool for profiling complex transcriptomes. However, many current methods for ssRNA-seq suffer from the underrepresentation of both the 5′ and 3′ ends of RNAs, which can be attributed ...
Read More »A Rapid, Simple, and Inexpensive Method for the Preparation of Strand-Specific RNA-Seq Libraries
High-throughput sequencing of short cDNA tags, or RNA-Seq, has become a staple of genome-wide gene expression studies in plants. RNA-Seq libraries necessarily contain tags that correspond to the mRNA-poly(A) junction, or polyadenylation site, and thus may be mined for data ...
Read More »Comprehensive Analysis of Alternative Splicing by Strand-Specific RNA-Seq
Digitalis purpurea (D. purpurea) is one of the most important medicinal plants and is well known in the treatment of heart failure because of the cardiac glycosides that are its main active compounds. However, in the absence of strand specific ...
