Cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs) have been recently described as a major class of non-coding RNAs. These transcripts are, however, extremely unstable in normal cells and their analyzes pose specific technical problems. In this chapter, after a brief introduction discussing general aspects associated with the analysis of non-coding RNAs, we provide details of methods to enrich, map, and quantify this unconventional class of transcripts.
隐秘不稳定转录本(CUTs)最近被描述为一类主要的非编码RNA。然而,这些转录本在正常细胞中极其不稳定,对它们的分析存在特定的技术问题。在本章中,在简要介绍与非编码RNA分析相关的一般方面之后,我们详细介绍了富集、定位和定量这类非常规转录本的方法。
