cDNA: Current Applications and Future Horizons

In the deep exploration of contemporary molecular biology, complementary DNA (cDNA) has become the core factor to promote the development of multi-dimensional research with its excellent characteristics. With the deepening study of gene expression regulatory network, functional genomics framework and molecular pathological mechanism of diseases, the limitations of traditional research strategies in the face of […]

Mastering Plant RNA Extraction Methods, Steps, and Techniques for High-Quality Research

Mastering Plant RNA Extraction Methods, Steps, and Techniques for High-Quality Research

Plant RNA Extraction Overview In the extensive domain of molecular biology, the extraction of RNA from plants is recognized as a fundamental procedure in the study of gene expression, functional genomics, and transcriptomics. RNA,a conduit for genetic information, plays a pivotal role in various aspects of plant growth, development, and response to environmental stresses. However, […]

What Are The Differences Between BCR and TCR

What Are The Differences Between BCR and TCR

In immunology research, understanding the immune repertoire is crucial for developing better therapies, vaccines, and diagnostics. Two key components of the immune system, B-cell receptors (BCRs) and T-cell receptors (TCRs), play distinct yet interconnected roles in recognizing pathogens. Sequencing the BCR and TCR repertoires provides deep insights into immune responses. But what exactly differentiates these […]

Exploring Small RNA: Types, Functions, Regulation, and Sequencing

Exploring Small RNA: Types, Functions, Regulation, and Sequencing

The vital roles played by small RNA molecules in gene regulation and a myriad of cellular processes are undeniably essential within the realms of biological sciences. This extensive review encompasses a deep exploration into the complex nature of small RNA. We examine its definition, the diversity of its types, its multifaceted functions, as well as […]

RNA Sequencing for The Analysis of Exosome Transcriptome

RNA Sequencing for The Analysis of Exosome Transcriptome

Introduction to Exosomes Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles (EVs), ranging from 30 to 100 nm in diameter, carrying heterogeneous cargo, including miRNA, mRNA, lncRNA, lipids, and proteins. Exosomes widely present in very large quantities in all eukaryotic cells, mediating intercellular communication after being released into the extracellular space. In humans, exosomes nearly exist in all […]

What Is Ribo-Seq (Ribosome Footprinting)?

What Is Ribo-Seq (Ribosome Footprinting)?

Introduction to Ribosome Profiling Ribosome-profiling techniques were developed in response to the importance of measuring gene expression at the translational level. Ribosome profiling is a direct technique for determining the precise mRNA region read by the ribosome and for directly examining the transcripts associated with the translation machinery. Ribosome profiling is a cellular snapshot of […]

Full-Length Transcriptome Sequencing for The Analysis of Gene Isoforms

Full-Length Transcriptome Sequencing for The Analysis of Gene Isoforms

Transcriptome sequencing is important to researchers because they help us understand how the cellular machinery interprets genomic sequences and alterations to these sequences. They’re also necessary for a lot of functional analyses. It is impossible to conduct RNA-seq research to explore differential gene expression or predict which proteins are present in a tissue or organism […]

Why Do We Study lncRNA? The Formerly Regarded “Transcriptional Junk” Sheds Light on Disease Research

Why Do We Study lncRNA? The Formerly Regarded “Transcriptional Junk” Sheds Light on Disease Research

Determining an appropriate treatment through precision medicine requires inspection of crucial novel biomarkers from tissue samples or liquid biopsies such as plasma/serum, sputum, saliva, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid for earlier disease diagnosis and prognosis. Analysis of non-coding RNA such as microRNA (miRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), DNA methylation, and posttranslational histone modifications are epigenetic […]

mRNA Fact Sheet: Definition, Structure, Function, and Association with Disease

mRNA Fact Sheet: Definition, Structure, Function, and Association with Disease

What Is mRNA? Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are single-stranded molecules in cells that transfer genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where proteins are synthesized (in the ribosomes). mRNAs are a group of RNAs that can be translated into proteins, while other RNAs cannot. Because nearly every function in the organisms is […]

Ribosomes and Ribosome Profiling

Ribosomes and Ribosome Profiling

What Is Sanger Sequencing? Sanger sequencing, also known as the “chain termination method” was developed by the British biochemist Frederick Sanger and his colleagues in 1977. This method is designed for determining the sequence of nucleotide bases in a piece of DNA (commonly less than 1,000 bp in length). Sanger sequencing with 99.99% base accuracy […]
