Preserving the original RNA orientation information in RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) experiment is essential to the analysis and understanding of the complexity of mammalian transcriptomes. We describe herein a simple, robust, and time-effective protocol for generating strand-specific RNA-seq libraries suited for the Illumina sequencing platform. We modified the Illumina TruSeq RNA sample preparation by implementing the strand specificity feature using the dUTP method. This protocol uses low amounts of starting material and allows a fast processing within two days. It can be easily implemented and requires only few additional reagents to the original Illumina kit.

MOE Key Laboratory of Evolution & Marine Biodiversity and Institute of Evolution & Marine Biodiversity, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266003, China.

The ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila is a well-established unicellular model eukaryote, contributing significantly to foundational biological discoveries. Despite its acknowledged importance, current studies on Tetrahymena biology face challenges due to gene annotation inaccuracy, particularly the notable absence of untranslated regions (UTRs). To comprehensively annotate the Tetrahymena macronuclear genome, we collected extensive transcriptomic data spanning various cell stages.

Key Laboratory of Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Technology in Animal Diseases, Ministry of Agriculture, College of Veterinary Medicine, Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, Hohhot, China.

This study explored the transcriptome differences in Fasciola hepatica at different developmental stages and identified functional genes related to growth and development during juvenile stages. DNBSEQ eukaryotic strand-specific transcriptome resequencing technology was used to sequence the transcriptomes of Fasciola hepatica eggs, juveniles, and adults. Additionally, the genes that were highly expressed during the juvenile stage were validated using qRT-PCR.

The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches to investigate the functioning of RNA polymerases has led to groundbreaking advances in the field of transcriptional regulation. One powerful method, Precision nuclear Run-On sequencing (PRO-seq), maps the locations of RNA polymerase active sites genome-wide at high resolution. PRO-seq provides a snapshot of strand-specific transcriptional activity and does not rely on immunoprecipitation of the polymerase of interest.

Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou 510623, China.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has transformed our understanding of cellular diversity with unprecedented resolution. However, many current methods are limited in capturing full-length transcripts and discerning strand orientation. Here, we present RAG-seq, an innovative strand-specific total RNA sequencing technique that combines not-so-random (NSR) primers with Tn5 transposase-mediated tagmentation.

Global Distribution and Diversity of Haloarchaeal pL6-Family Plasmids.

Genes (Basel)

August 2024

Computational Systems Biochemistry, Max-Planck-Institute of Biochemistry, 82152 Martinsried, Germany.

Australian isolates of , a square-shaped haloarchaeon, often harbor small cryptic plasmids of the pL6-family, approximately 6 kb in size, and five examples have been previously described. These plasmids exhibit a highly conserved gene arrangement and encode replicases similar to those of betapleolipoviruses. To assess their global distribution and recover more examples for analysis, fifteen additional plasmids were reconstructed from the metagenomes of seven hypersaline sites across four countries: Argentina, Australia, Puerto Rico, and Spain.
