  • Pan-Cancer Patterns of RNA-Binding Proteins in ~7000 tumor RNA-seq samples

    RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate the expression of thousands of transcripts, and some are reported to be involved in human tumorigenesis.

    We conducted comprehensive analyses for expression, somatic copy number alteration (SCNA), and mutation profiles of 1,542 RBPs in ∼7,000 clinical specimens across 15 cancer types.

    We identified markedly dysregulated RBPs and found that downregulation was a predominant pattern in cancer.

    Combined with recurrent SCNA and mutation data, we identified ~200 RBPs as potential drivers.

    We confirmed the oncogenic property of six RBPs, including NSUN6, ZC3H13, BYSL, ELAC1, RBMS3, and ZGPAT using experimental methods. The oncogenic functions of two RBPs (NSUN6 and ZC3H13) involved in RNA modifications (m5C and m6A) were confirmed.

    Our study highlights the potential roles of RBPs in carcinogenesis and lays the groundwork to better understand the functions and mechanisms of RBPs in cancer.

    The resource and paper for RBPs is available at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...442?via%3Dihub

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
