Project description:Pseudouridine (Ψ) is an abundant mRNA modification in the mammalian transcriptome, but its function has remained elusive due to the difficulty of transcriptome-wide mapping. We develop nanopore native RNA sequencing for quantitative Ψ analysis that utilizes native content training, machine learning model prediction, and single read coordination. We find interferon inducible Ψ modifications in the interferon stimulated gene transcripts, consistent with a role of Ψ in the efficacy of mRNA vaccines.

Project description:Pseudouridine (Ψ) is an abundant mRNA modification in mammalian transcriptome, but its functions have remained elusive due to the difficulty of transcriptome-wide mapping. We develop a nanopore native RNA sequencing method for quantitative Ψ prediction (NanoPsu) that utilizes native content training, machine learning modeling, and single-read linkage analysis. Biologically, we find interferon inducible Ψ modifications in interferon-stimulated gene transcripts which are consistent with a role of Ψ in enabling efficacy of mRNA vaccines.
Project description:Pseudouridine is an isomer of uridine and is the most common RNA modification in both procaryotes and eucaryotes. It is found in ribosomal, transfer, and other structural RNA as well as in some mRNA and non-coding RNA. We have found abundant pseudouridine in small RNA and their precursors in Arabidopsis.

Project description:We applied BIHIND-seq to 15 sites of Hela 18S rRNA to probe Pseudouridine modification at the target sites and checked how pseudouridine level changed after DKC1 knockdown.
