  • PubMed: Large-scale sequencing of plant small RNAs.

    Syndicated from PubMed RSS Feeds

    Large-scale sequencing of plant small RNAs.

    Methods Mol Biol. 2011;744:159-73

    Authors: Donovan WP, Zhang Y, Howell MD

    Deep sequencing technologies have become very powerful tools in the identification and quantification of small RNAs involved in gene regulation. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) and miRNA are two classes of DCL-dependent small RNAs known to affect phenotype, developmental regulation, and various traits in plants. These small RNAs function by selectively repressing gene expression mainly by guiding cleavage, resulting in degradation of target transcripts. In this chapter, we describe a method for preparation of 5(')-phosphate-dependent small RNA libraries, a hallmark of RNase III-like DCL products, for high-throughput sequencing, and recommendations for small RNA analysis. This method is useful for determining small RNA involvement in critical pathways in plants, identifying and quantifying novel small RNAs, and examining small RNA global expression patterns.

    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...
