Scalable Transcriptome Preparation for Massive Parallel Sequencing

چکیده
BACKGROUND The tremendous output of massive parallel sequencing technologies requires automated robust and scalable sample preparation methods to fully exploit the new sequence capacity. METHODOLOGY In this study, a method for automated library preparation of RNA prior to massively parallel sequencing is presented. The automated protocol uses precipitation onto carboxylic acid paramagnetic beads for purification and size selection of both RNA and DNA. The automated sample preparation was compared to the standard manual sample preparation. CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE The automated procedure was used to generate libraries for gene expression profiling on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform with the capacity of 12 samples per preparation with a significantly improved throughput compared to the standard manual preparation. The data analysis shows consistent gene expression profiles in terms of sensitivity and quantification of gene expression between the two library preparation methods.

De novo detection of A-to-I RNA editing sites in human mRNAs by massive transcriptome sequencing
Motivations RNA editing is a widespread molecular phenomenon which modifies primary transcripts at specific positions [1]. It occurs in a variety of organisms including human and cooperates with alternative splicing in increasing both proteomic and transcriptomic complexity. RNA Editing can modulate gene expression and affect protein functionality. In human, such phenomenon is highly frequent i...
