[Abstract] Next generation high-throughput sequencing has enabled sensitive and unambiguous analysis of RNA populations in cells. Here, we describe a method for isolation and strand-specific sequencing of small RNA pools from bacteria that can be multiplexed to accommodate multiple biological samples in a single experiment. Small RNAs are isolated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and treated with T4 polynucleotide kinase. This allows for 3’ adapter ligation to CRISPR RNAs, which don’t have pre-existing 3’-OH ends. Pre-adenylated adapters are then ligated using T4 RNA ligase 1 in the absence of ATP and with a high concentration of polyethylene glycol (PEG). The 3’ capture step enables precise determination of the 3’ ends of diverse RNA molecules. Additionally, a random hexamer in the ligated ...
[摘要] 新一代高通量测序技术能够对细胞中的RNA群体进行敏感和明确的分析。在这里，我们描述了一种从细菌中分离和链特异性测序小RNA池的方法，所述细菌可以在单个实验中多路复用以容纳多个生物样品。小RNA通过聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分离并用T4多核苷酸激酶处理。这允许3'衔接头连接至CRISPR RNA，其不具有预先存在的3'-OH末端。然后使用T4 RNA连接酶1在不存在ATP和高浓度聚乙二醇（PEG）的情况下将前腺苷酸化的衔接子连接。 3'捕获步骤能够精确测定不同RNA分子的3'末端。此外，连接适配器中的随机六聚体有助于控制潜在的下游扩增偏差。逆转录后，将cDNA产物环化并通过PCR制备文库。我们显示扩增的文库不需要通过凝胶电泳可见，以期望产物的有效测序。使用这种方法，我们通常从少量纯化的小RNA制备RNA测序文库。该协议适合于通过对成熟的CRISPR RNA进行测序来测定细菌中的CRISPR RNA生物合成，但可以用于测序不同类型的小RNA。我们还提供了一个完整的数据处理管道示例，并提供了运行所提供脚本的说明。

[Abstract] Although temporal regulation of gene expression during the course of infection is known to be critical for determining the outcome of host-virus interactions, systematic temporal analysis of the miRNA targetomes during productive viral infection has been technically challenging due to the large range of miRNA-mRNA cross-talks at the host-virus interface. High-confidence quantifying models of the suppression efficacy in targeting sites by integrating bioinformatics with Argonaute-crosslinking and immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (AGO-CLIP-seq) (Chi et al., 2009) data have been poorly developed. To accurately identify miRNA target sites and calculate the targeting efficacy of miRNA-target interactions, we developed a new bioinformatic quantitation method, ...
[摘要] 尽管已知在感染过程中基因表达的时间调节对于确定宿主 - 病毒相互作用的结果是至关重要的，但是在生产性病毒感染期间对miRNA targetomes的系统时间分析在技术上是具有挑战性的，因为大范围的miRNA- mRNA在主机 - 病毒接口交叉对话。数据通过将生物信息学与Argonaute-交联和免疫沉淀接着高通量测序（AGO-CLIP-seq）数据（Chi等人，2009）数据结合，已经不发达。为了准确地鉴定miRNA靶位点并计算miRNA-靶相互作用的靶向效果，我们开发了新的生物信息学定量方法，即AGO-CLIP-seq富集（ACE） - 评分算法（Kim等， 2015）。在我们的AGO-CLIP-seq分析中包括未感染的对照可以显着提高病毒或人miRNA的真实靶位点识别的准确性，并且在我们的ACE评分方法中提取生产性人巨细胞病毒（HCMV）感染期间的生理学显着变化。因此，我们建议我们新的基于ACE评分的方法可以应用于各种miRNA targetome研究，这将在其他类型的时间背景下进行，如发展阶段，细胞因子或病原体的免疫刺激和其他病毒。

[Abstract] This protocol describes the methodology for the determination of the secondary structure of an RNA fragment in solution using Selective 2´-Hydroxyl Acylation analyzed by Primer Extension, abbreviation SHAPE. It consists in the very fast chemical modification of flexible and therefore possibly single-stranded nucleotides in a sequence-independent manner using benzoyl cyanide (BzCN), forming 2´-O-adducts. The modifications in the RNA are then analyzed by primer extension. Reverse transcriptase is blocked by the 2´-O-adducts formed. The advantage of the method is, first, that not each RNA molecule studied but the primer used in the extension reaction is labelled and, second, that the resulting cDNA analyzed in sequencing gels is much more stable than the modified RNA.
[摘要] 该方案描述了使用通过引物延伸（缩写为SHAPE）分析的选择性2'-羟基酰化来确定溶液中RNA片段的二级结构的方法。 其包括使用苯甲酰氰（BzCN）以序列非依赖性方式非常快速地化学修饰柔性且因此可能的单链核苷酸，形成2'-O-加合物。 然后通过引物延伸分析RNA中的修饰。 逆转录酶被形成的2'-O-加合物阻断。 该方法的优点是，首先，不是每个RNA分子研究，而是在延伸反应中使用的引物被标记，其次，在测序凝胶中分析得到的cDNA比修饰的RNA更稳定。
