Project description:Global Run-On sequencing (GRO-seq) was carried out on nuclei isolated from HeLa cells after 30 minutes of treatment with CDK9 inhibitors KM05382 and DRB and from two untreated controls. Libraries of nascent RNAs were generated and sequenced using Illumina Hi-seq technology. GRO-seq reads were processed, deduplicated, mapped to human genome and normalised to reads in the 5’ ETS of the 45S rRNA gene.
Project description:Purpose: GRO-seq is a robust method to examine the nascent RNA transcriptome in the genome level Methods: The GRO-seq measures the trancription of nascent RNAs in the genome. From human CD34+ erythrocytes treated with veichle or T4 we conducted GRO-seq to examine the transcripome.
Project description:The majority of transcription studies examine steady-state RNA . However steady-state RNA is not a true reflection of the transcriptome, because the RNA levels are affected by both transcription rate and degradation rate. In this experiment we measured the amount of transcription occurring in HCT116 colon cancer cells, regardless of degradation, using GRO-seq (global nuclear run-on sequencing). This information demonstrates that many genes have a pile-up of transcriptionally-engaged polymerase near their 5'-end. Nuclei were prepared from HCT116 cells (treated for 1hr with DMSO as control for additional GRO-seq experiments to be reported separately). Transcription run-on was performed (as per Core, L.J., Waterfall, J.J., and Lis, J.T. (2008). Nascent RNA sequencing reveals widespread pausing and divergent initiation at human promoters. Science 322, 1845-1848) and nascent RNAs were purified and sequenced.
