  • Any advice on RNA bisulfite sequencing?

    Hi everyone,
    We are planning to treat total RNA (rRNA removed) with bisulfite and convert the nonmethylated cytosines to uracil. This is a harsh treatment and will brake up mRNA into very small fragments.
    We will then use the TruSeq small RNA kit to produce the library. Thus we are expecting to be able to sequence all sorts of small RNAs, together with the chopped up fragments of mRNA.
    Has anybody done bisulfite sequencing, and is able to provide advice or warn me of any pitfalls?
    Thanks a lot, I appreciate any comment.

    On second thoughts, it seems that the ends of RNA are being modified when submitted to bisulfite/alkali treatment, forming a 2′,3′ cyclic phosphate (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1999, 121 (23), pp 5364–5372), so that the TruSeq adapters are unlikely to ligate.
    Has anybody got any idea how to reverse this? Is there a commercial 2′,3′ cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase?
    My biochemistry is not very good, so again any comment is very welcome!

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
