Probing RNA Structure with Dimethyl Sulfate Mutational Profiling with Sequencing In Vitro and in Cells

The protocol provides instruction for modifying RNA with dimethyl sulfate for mutational profiling experiments. It includes in vitro and in vivo probing with two alternative library preparation methods. DMS-MaP is a sequencing-based method that allows us to get a snapshot of RNA structure, and learn how it changes under different…

BdLT-Seq as a barcode decay-based method to unravel lineage-linked transcriptome plasticity

Cell lines Immortalised HA1E (hTERT and SV40ER) and tumourigenic HA1ER cells (hTERT, SV40ER and HRAS-G12V) from stepwise tumourigenesis models generated from normal human embryonic kidney cells were obtained from Dr. Hahn (Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, USA). Cells were cultured in DMEM (1 g/L glucose) (Gibco, cat. #10567014) supplemented…

Telomere-to-mitochondria signalling by ZBP1 mediates replicative crisis

Cell culture IMR90 (CCL-186) and WI38 (AG06814-N) fibroblasts were purchased from ATCC and the Coriell Institute for Medical Research, respectively. IMR90 and WI38 fibroblasts were grown under 7.5% CO2 and 3% O2 in GlutaMax-DMEM (Gibco, 10569-010) supplemented with 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids (Corning, 25-025-Cl) and 15% fetal bovine serum (VWR/Seradigm,…

Trem2 H157Y increases soluble TREM2 production and reduces amyloid pathology | Molecular Neurodegeneration

Generation, genotyping, and off-target analysis of Trem2 H157Y knock-in mice Trem2 H157Y knock-in mice were generated via CRISPR/Cas9 by the Hope Center Transgenic Vectors Core of the Washington University [25]. CRISPR gRNAs for in vitro testing were identified using CRISPOR (crispor.tefor.net/) and synthesized as gBlocks (Integrated DNA Technologies, IDT) with…
