Abstract |
With its ability to perform rapid transcriptome profiling and profound transcriptomic analysis powered by high-throughput sequencing at a high resolution with deep coverage, the advent of RNA sequencing technology, RNA-Seq, outperforms other methods in the field, such as microarrays, and has changed our way of performing transcriptomic investigation. Protocols for preparing libraries for RNA-Seq using the Illumina and Roche 454 sequencing platforms are included in this chapter. Common steps for library preparation in both platforms include RNA fragmentation, cDNA synthesis, adaptor ligation, and PCR amplification of cDNA strands. Illumina adopts solid-phase bridge PCR amplification, while 454 uses water-in-oil emulsion-based PCR amplification. Despite differences in the PCR amplification step, both platforms employ the same sequencing-by-synthesis technology for the sequencing process. Application of the RNA-Seq technique in the context of dysregulation of the transcriptome in Alzheimer's disease is also discussed. |
