TL;DR

Two complementary methods for tsRNA validation are presented, small RNA northern blotting, which allows direct visualization of RNA size and abundance, and dumbbell PCR, which enables isoform-specific quantification with single-nucleotide resolution, which provide robust tools to validate tsRNA expression and facilitate mechanistic studies of their biological functions.

Enhanced recovery of terminal sequences of viral RNAs via fine-tuning of the high-throughput sequencing library preparation and evidence of a non-templated nucleotide addition at the 3′ end of the minus strand in members of the genus Ilarvirus

Abstract High-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies have transformed life sciences by enabling rapid, large-scale analysis of nucleic acids, providing unprecedented insights into genomics and transcriptomics. Accurate determination of RNA termini remains, however, a major challenge. We have addressed this limitation...

Analysis of tRNA Aminoacylation by Northern Blotting and Multiplex Small RNA-Seq.

Quantification of tRNA aminoacylation has been used to demonstrate RNA chaperone activity for RNA-binding proteins that promote tRNA folding to increase the fraction of aminoacylated tRNAs, underscoring the utility of this assay in interrogating RNA chaperone-assisted tRNA folding and function.

RNA-dependent RNA amplification as a strategy to perform tRNA sequencing on low-input samples

Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are key molecules that deliver amino acids to the translating ribosome according to their cognate codon encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA). Due to the modified nature of tRNA nucleotides, accurate tRNA quantification can be tedious, especially when dealing with small sample inputs. Here, we took adva...
