Transposase assisted tagmentation of RNA/DNA hybrid duplexes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Tn5-mediated transposition of double-strand DNA has been widely utilized in various high-throughput sequencing applications. Here, we report that the Tn5 transposase is also capable of direct tagmentation of RNA/DNA hybrids in vitro. As a proof-of-concept application, we utilized this activity to replace the traditional library construction procedure of RNA sequencing, which contains many laborious and time-consuming processes. Results of Transposase assisted RNA/DNA hybrids Co-tagmEntation (termed “TRACE-seq”) are comparable to traditional RNA-seq methods in terms of detected gene number, gene body coverage, gene expression measurement, library complexity, and differential expression analysis; at the meantime, TRACE-seq enables a one-tube library construction protocol and hence is more rapid (within 6h) and convenient. We expect this tagmentation activity on RNA/DNA hybrids to have broad potentials on RNA biology and chromatin research.
