Nanopore sequencing of intact aminoacylated tRNAs.

Transfer RNAs (tRNA) are decorated during biogenesis with a variety of modifications that modulate their stability, aminoacylation, and decoding potential during translation. The complex landscape of tRNA modification presents significant analysis challenges and to date no single approach enables the simultaneous measurement of important but disparate chemical properties of individual, mature tRNA molecules. We developed a new, integrated approach to analyze the sequence, modification, and aminoacylation state of tRNA molecules in a high throughput nanopore sequencing experiment, leveraging a chemical ligation that embeds the charged amino acid in an adapted tRNA molecule.

Sonoanatomy of the difficult airway. A case-control study.

Introduction And Objectives: The occurrence of a difficult airway during intubation is a critical event in anaesthesia. Despite the usefulness of clinical predictors, difficult intubation frequently arises unexpectedly. The aim of this study was to determine the utility of airway ultrasound in detecting these patients.

Safety of immunotherapy with glutaraldehyde-polymerized allergen extract in adults and children.

Background: Allergies to fungi, such as , are significant contributors to respiratory conditions like asthma and rhinitis. Immunotherapy with native extracts often results in high rates of adverse reactions. This study evaluates the safety of immunotherapy using glutaraldehyde-polymerized extracts in both pediatric and adult populations.

Consensus Guidance for Genetic Counseling in GBA1 Variants: A Focus on Parkinson's Disease.

Glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) variants constitute numerically the most common known genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) and are distributed worldwide. Access to GBA1 genotyping varies across the world and even regionally within countries. Guidelines for GBA1 variant counseling are evolving.

Comparative analysis of 43 distinct RNA modifications by nanopore tRNA sequencing.

Transfer RNAs are the fundamental adapter molecules of protein synthesis and the most abundant and heterogeneous class of noncoding RNA molecules in cells. The study of tRNA repertoires remains challenging, complicated by the presence of dozens of post transcriptional modifications. Nanopore sequencing is an emerging technology with promise for both tRNA sequencing and the detection of RNA modifications; however, such studies have been limited by the throughput and accuracy of direct RNA sequencing methods.
