RNA modifications, notably N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation, have risen to prominence as pivotal orchestrators of gene expression and cellular dynamics. Within this array of modifications, the m6A methylation of RNA, especially within messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts, has garnered considerable interest due to its profound involvement in diverse biological phenomena and the onset of pathological conditions. In […]
In the field of genomics, two notable methodologies for DNA sequencing have risen to prominence: Primer Walking Sequencing and Shotgun Sequencing. These techniques, although distinct in their approaches, stand as indispensable instruments for deciphering the intricacies inherent within the genetic code. This discourse endeavors to dissect the nuances of both methodologies, elucidating their fundamental principles, […]
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 […]
1992 Bisulfite Treatment for Methylation Samples Commonly referred to as BS conversion, it involves treating methylated samples with bisulfite (abbreviated as "BS"), where "conversion" refers to the process by which unmethylated cytosines (C) are converted to uracils (U) and eventually to thymines (T) through PCR amplification, while methylated cytosines (5mC) are preserved. 2003 Pyrosequencing Pyrosequencing […]
In the realm of modern biology, unlocking the complexities of genomes has been significantly propelled by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. Among these, the sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) chemistry, in tandem with the esteemed DRAGEN Bio-IT platform, stands out for its unparalleled accuracy in delivering whole genome sequencing (WGS) data. However, the quest for understanding the entirety of […]

Pyrophosphate sequencing represents an innovative enzymatic cascade chemiluminescence sequencing method driven by four key enzymes: DNA polymerase, ATP sulfurylase, luciferase, and adenosine triphosphate bisphosphatase (apyrase). This cutting-edge technology enables real-time detection of biological light signals emitted during DNA synthesis, setting a groundbreaking precedent for simultaneous sequencing and synthesis. In the realm of early tumor screening […]
The study of population evolution relies on advanced genomic techniques like whole-genome resequencing or other sequencing methods. These technologies enable the acquisition of genomic data from diverse subpopulations within a species. By extracting extensive variant information such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), insertions/deletions (InDel), structural variations (SV), and copy number variations (CNV), researchers delve into […]
Science’s understanding of genetics primarily focuses on the alterations in gene expression caused by genetic sequence modifications, encompassing gene mutations, heterogeneous loss, and microsatellite instability. Contrastingly, epigenetics considers the changes in gene expression attributable to non-genomic sequence variations, such as DNA methylation and modifications in chromatin conformation. The broader field of epigenomics is dedicated to the genomic […]
What is Agrobacterium-Mediated Plant Transformation? Agrobacterium, a soil-dwelling bacterium, can chemotactically infect a wide array of dicotyledonous plants. Exploiting wounded areas of the plant, Agrobacterium induces the formation of crown gall tumors or hairy roots. Within Agrobacterium‘s Ti and Ri plasmids resides a crucial fragment of transfer DNA known as T-DNA. This T-DNA has the remarkable capability […]
