LOTTE-seq (Long hairpin oligonucleotide based tRNA high-throughput sequencing): specific selection of tRNAs with 3’-CCA end for high-throughput sequencing

Strand-specific libraries for high throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) prepared without poly(A) selection

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND High throughput DNA sequencing technology has enabled quantification of all the RNAs in a cell or tissue, a method widely known as RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). However, non-coding RNAs such as rRNA are highly abundant and can consume >70% of sequencing reads. A common approach is to extract only polyadenylated mRNA; however, such approaches are blind to RNAs with short or ...

High-throughput sequencing technologies.

The human genome sequence has profoundly altered our understanding of biology, human diversity, and disease. The path from the first draft sequence to our nascent era of personal genomes and genomic medicine has been made possible only because of the extraordinary advancements in DNA sequencing technologies over the past 10 years. Here, we discuss commonly used high-throughput sequencing platfo...

End-to-End Optimization of High-Throughput DNA Sequencing

At the core of Illumina's high-throughput DNA sequencing platforms lies a biophysical surface process that results in a random geometry of clusters of homogeneous short DNA fragments typically hundreds of base pairs long-bridge amplification. The statistical properties of this random process and the lengths of the fragments are critical as they affect the information that can be subsequently ex...

Determination of tRNA aminoacylation levels by high-throughput sequencing

Transfer RNA (tRNA) decodes mRNA codons when aminoacylated (charged) with an amino acid at its 3' end. Charged tRNAs turn over rapidly in cells, and variations in charged tRNA fractions are known to be a useful parameter in cellular responses to stress. tRNA charging fractions can be measured for individual tRNA species using acid denaturing gels, or comparatively at the genome level using micr...
