[Abstract]  

Given the scale of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the need for reliable, scalable testing, and the likelihood of reagent shortages, especially in resource-poor settings, we have developed an RT-qPCR assay that relies on an alternative to conventional viral reverse transcriptases, a thermostable reverse transcriptase/DNA polymerase (RTX) (Ellefson et al., 2016). Here we show that RTX performs comparably to the other assays sanctioned by the CDC and validated in kit format. We demonstrate two modes of RTX use – (i) dye-based RT-qPCR assays that require only RTX polymerase, and (ii) TaqMan RT-qPCR assays that use a combination of RTX and Taq DNA polymerases (as the RTX exonuclease does not degrade a TaqMan probe). We also provide straightforward recipes for the purification of this

[摘要]  [摘要]鉴于持续进行的COVID-19大流行的规模,可靠,可扩展的测试需求以及试剂短缺的可能性(尤其是在资源匮乏的环境中),我们开发了一种n RT-qPCR分析方法,该方法依赖于其他方法与常规病毒逆转录酶相比,热稳定的逆转录酶/ DNA聚合酶(RTX)(Ellefson等,2016)。在这里,我们显示RTX与CDC认可并以试剂盒形式验证的其他检测方法具有可比性。我们演示了两种RTX使用模式-(i)仅需要RTX聚合酶的基于染料的RT-qPCR分析,以及(ii)使用RTX和Taq DNA聚合酶组合的TaqMan RT-qPCR分析(因为RTX核酸外切酶不降级ea TaqMan探针)。我们还提供了纯化该替代试剂RTX的简单方法。我们预计,在资源匮乏或需要的地方,研究人员可以获取可用的构建体,并开始开发自己的测定方法,而不论它们存在的调控框架如何。


[背景]尽管已采用多种病毒检测方法来检测SARS-CoV-2感染,包括各种分子诊断和免疫诊断测试,但逆转录酶定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)仍然是主要且最敏感的方法SARS-CoV-2检测试验(D'Cruz等,2020 ; Tang等,2020 )。RT-qPCR的首要地位在很大程度上是因为基于抗体的测试以及快速核酸诊断平台(如Abbott ...

Probe-Seq: Method for RNA Sequencing of Specific Cell Types from Animal Tissue

[Abstract]  Most organs and tissues are composed of many types of cells. To characterize cellular state, various transcription profiling approaches are currently available, including whole-tissue bulk RNA sequencing, single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq), and cell type-specific RNA sequencing. What is missing in this repertoire is a simple, versatile method for bulk transcriptional profiling of cell types for which cell type-specific genetic markers or antibodies are not readily available. We therefore developed Probe-Seq, which uses hybridization of gene-specific probes to RNA markers for isolation of specific types of cells, to enable downstream FACS isolation and bulk RNA sequencing. We show that this method can enable isolation and profiling of specific cell types from mouse retina, frozen human ... [摘要]  [摘要 ] 大多数器官和组织由许多类型的细胞组成。为了表征细胞状态,目前可以使用各种转录分析方法,包括全组织体RNA测序,单细胞RNA测序(scRNA -Seq)和特定于细胞类型的RNA测序。在此库中缺少的是一种简单,通用的方法,无法批量获得细胞类型的特定基因标记或抗体,因此无法批量转录。因此,我们开发了Probe-Seq,该探针使用基因特异性探针与RNA标记的杂交来分离特定类型的细胞,以实现下游FACS分离和大量RNA测序。我们表明,该方法可以实现从小鼠视网膜,冷冻人视网膜,果蝇中肠和发育中的雏鸡视网膜中分离和分析特定细胞类型的特征,这表明它对大多数生物很有用。

[背景技术 [ 0002 ] 在过去的二十年中,使用RNA-Seq和微阵列进行转录谱分析已在生物学研究中无处不在。分析现在是用来了解大多数生物体中细胞和细胞状态的主要工具之一。它被用于正常发育,异常发育和疾病的研究,并极大地扩展了我们对进化关系的理解。特别地,scRNA- Seq已经以前所未有的速度导致了新型细胞类型的鉴定(Picelli 等,2013;Jaitin 等,2014; Klein 等,2015; Macosko 等,2015)。为了更深入地了解这些新描述的细胞类型,一种无需转基因标记或特异性抗原即可将其分离的方法将大有裨益。尽管可以使用scRNA ...
