Technology
A technique used to selectively replicate nucleic acid sequences from RNA templates using reverse transcriptase and RNA polymerase. Reverse transcriptase generates cDNA from the region of interest using primers and then RNA polymerase generates copies of the original RNA template.
Technology
A molecular genetic technique that isolates and sequences chromosomal regions that are rich in open chromatin. First, nuclei are harvested from a cellular sample. Then a hyperactive Tn5 transposase is added to the nuclei where it excises non-nucleosomal DNA strands and ligates co-administered high-throughput sequencing adapters (tagmentation). The tagged DNA fragments are isolated, amplified by PCR and sequenced. The number of reads for specific region of DNA correlate with increased chromatin accessibility and this method can identify regions of transcription factor and nucleosome binding.
Technology
A laboratory procedure in which an RNA strand is first transcribed into a DNA complement and then subjected to PCR amplification. Transcribing an RNA strand into a DNA complement is termed reverse transcription and is done by the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
Technology
A procedure that can determine the nucleotide sequence for all of the RNA transcripts in an individual.
