[Abstract] Transcriptome analysis can provide clues to biological processes affected in different genetic backgrounds or/and under various conditions. The price of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has decreased enough so that medium- to large-scale transcriptome analyses in a range of conditions are feasible. However, the price and variety of options for library preparation of RNA-seq can still be daunting to those who would like to use RNA-seq for their first time or for a single experiment. Among the criteria for selecting a library preparation protocol are the method of RNA isolation, nucleotide fragmentation to obtain desired size range, and library indexing to pool sequencing samples for multiplexing. Here, we present a high-quality and a high-throughput option for preparing libraries from ...
[摘要] [摘要] 转录组分析可以为不同遗传背景或不同条件下的生物学过程提供线索。RNA测序（RNA-seq）的价格已经下降到足够低的程度，因此在各种条件下进行中大规模转录组分析是可行的。然而，对于那些希望第一次使用RNA-seq或进行单个实验的人来说，RNA-seq库制备的价格和各种选择仍然是令人望而生畏的。选择文库制备方案的标准包括RNA分离方法、核苷酸片段化以获得所需的大小范围，以及文库索引以汇集测序样本进行多路复用。在这里，我们提出了一个高质量和高通量的选择，从多聚腺苷酸mRNA制备文库用于转录组分析。高质量和高通量的方案选择都包括通过磁珠使poly-A尾部沉淀，cDNA合成，然后通过Tn5介导的“标记”同时裂解和添加适配器的步骤。该方案的所有步骤均已通过拟南芥叶片和幼苗组织的验证，并简化为协同工作，在资金和时间上成本最低，因此旨在为转录组分析提供一个初学者友好的从开始到完成的RNA序列库制备。

[Abstract] Protein tagging is a powerful method of investigating protein function. However, modifying positive-strand RNA virus proteins in the context of viral infection can be particularly difficult as their compact genomes and multifunctional proteins mean even small changes can inactivate or attenuate the virus. Although targeted approaches to functionally tag viral proteins have been successful, these approaches are time consuming and inefficient. A strategy that has been successfully applied to several RNA viruses is whole-genome transposon insertional mutagenesis. A library of viral genomes, each containing a single randomly placed small insertion, is selected by passaging in cell culture and the insertion sites can be identified using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Here we describe a ...
[摘要] 蛋白质标记是研究蛋白质功能的有效方法。然而，在病毒感染的情况下修饰正链RNA病毒蛋白可能特别困难，因为它们的紧密基因组和多功能蛋白意味着即使很小的变化也可以使病毒失活或减弱。尽管功能性标记病毒蛋白的靶向方法已经成功，但这些方法耗时且效率低。已经成功应用于几种RNA病毒的策略是全基因组转座子插入诱变。通过细胞培养中的传代选择病毒基因组文库，每个文库含有单个随机放置的小插入，并且可以使用下一代测序（NGS）鉴定插入位点。在这里，我们描述了用于登革病毒16681株血清型2的转座子诱变的方案。含有短随机放置插入物的突变登革病毒文库通过哺乳动物细胞传代，插入由有活力后代的NGS定位。该方案分为四个阶段：登革热cDNA克隆的转座子诱变，病毒基因组转染到允许细胞，分离病毒后代基因组和测序文库制备。

[Abstract] Chromosome conformation capture sequencing (Hi-C) is a powerful method to comprehensively interrogate the three-dimensional positioning of chromatin in the nucleus. The development of Hi-C can be traced back to successive increases in the resolution and throughput of chromosome conformation capture (3C) (Dekker et al., 2002). The basic workflow of 3C consists of (i) fixation of intact chromatin, usually by formaldehyde, (ii) cutting the fixed chromatin with a restriction enzyme, (iii) religation of sticky ends under diluted conditions to favor ligations between cross-linked fragments or those between random fragments and (iv) quantifying the number of ligations events between pairs of genomic loci (de Wit and de Laat, 2012). In the original 3C protocol, ligation frequency was ...
[摘要] 染色体构象捕获测序（Hi-C）是一种全面询问细胞核中染色质三维定位的有效方法。 Hi-C的发展可以追溯到染色体构象捕获的分辨率和通量的连续增加（3C）（Dekker et al。，2002）。 3C的基本工作流程包括（i）通常用甲醛固定完整的染色质，（ii）用限制酶切割固定的染色质，（iii）在稀释条件下重新连接粘性末端，以促进交联片段之间的连接或随机片段之间的那些和（iv）量化基因组基因座对之间的连接事件的数量（de Wit和de Laat，2012）。在最初的3C方案中，通过半定量PCR扩增对应于少量基因组位点（“一对一”）的选定连接接头来测量连接频率（Dekker et al。，2002 ）。然后，染色体构象捕获芯片（4C）和染色体构象捕获碳复制（5C）技术扩展3C以分别以“一对多”或“多对多”方式计算结扎事件。 Hi-C（Lieberman-Aiden et al。，2009）最终将3C与下一代测序相结合（Metzker，2010）。此处，在再连接之前，用生物素标记的核苷酸类似物填充粘性末端以在后续步骤中富集具有连接连接的片段。然后对Hi-C文库进行高通量测序，并将得到的读数映射到参考基因组，允许以“多对多”方式确定接触概率，其分辨率仅受限制性位点的分布限制和阅读深度。 Hi-C的首次应用是阐明人类基因组中的全球染色质折叠原理（Lieberman-Aiden et ...
