RNA degradation is an important process for controlling gene expression and is mediated by decapping / deadenylation-dependent or endonucleolytic cleavage-dependent RNA degradation mechanisms. High-throughput sequencing of RNA degradation intermediates was initially developed in Arabidopsis thaliana and similar RNA degradome sequencing methods were conducted in other eukaryotes. However, interpreting results obtained by these sequencing methods is fragmented, and an overview is needed. Here we review the findings and limitations of these sequencing methods and discuss the missing experiments needed to understand RNA degradation intermediates accurately. This review provides direction for future research on RNA degradation and is a reference for RNA degradome studies in other species.

Background: Temperature is a key determinant of ectotherms distribution and growth. During the Eriocheir sinensis breeding process, it was observed that crabs in high latitudes and altitude areas with low temperatures undergo diapause, they would overwinter and continue to grow into three-year-old individuals, whose final body size is significantly larger than the normal two-year-old crabs. The hepatopancreas is responsible for maintaining the nutritional balance and energy required for the crab survival.

Dental pulp regeneration is significantly aided by human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are crucial in the multidirectional differentiation of many mesenchymal stem cells, but their specific functions and mechanisms remain unknown. This work aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanism by which hsa_circ_0001599 works in hDPSCs during odontogenic differentiation.

Epitranscriptomic modifications, particularly N6-methyladenosine (mA), are crucial regulators of gene expression, influencing processes such as RNA stability, splicing, and translation. Traditional computational methods for detecting mA from Nanopore direct RNA sequencing (DRS) data are constrained by their reliance on experimentally validated labels, often resulting in the underestimation of modification sites. Here, we introduce pum6a, an innovative attention-based framework that integrates positive and unlabeled multi-instance learning (MIL) to address the challenges of incomplete labeling and missing read-level annotations.

Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells produce monoclonal antibodies and other biotherapeutics at industrial scale. Despite their ubiquitous nature in the biopharmaceutical industry, little is known about the behaviors of individual transfected clonal CHO cells. Most CHO cells are assessed on their stability, their ability to produce the protein of interest over time.

Advances in molecular medicine and biotechnology have demonstrated messenger RNA (mRNA)-based therapies to be a promising therapeutic modality for infectious diseases, genetic disorders, and cancers. However, key challenges persist, including low translation efficiency and short half-life of exogenous mRNA. The untranslated regions (UTRs) influence important parameters like mRNA stability and translation efficiency.
