Direct Sequencing of RNA and RNA Modification Identification Using Nanopore

Direct RNA sequencing (dRNA-seq) simultaneously enables the detection of RNA modifications and characterization of full-length transcripts.

Description
Summary:Direct RNA sequencing (dRNA-seq) simultaneously enables the detection of RNA modifications and characterization of full-length transcripts. In principle, full-length native RNA molecule is translocated through the nanopore by a motor protein while a sensor measures ionic current shifts. Then, the current shifts are interpreted by an algorithm that turn out to RNA sequence. Currently, the standard protocol of dRNA-seq provided by Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) allows to directly ligate and sequence only polyadenylated RNA (poly(A) RNA). Here, we describe a method of dRNA-seq that can be applied for both poly(A) RNA and non-poly(A) tailed-RNA.
