Quantifying tRNAs is crucial for understanding how they regulate mRNA translation but is hampered by their extensive sequence similarity and premature termination of reverse transcription at multiple modified nucleotides. Here, we describe the use of modification-induced misincorporation tRNA sequencing (mim-tRNAseq), which overcomes these limitations with optimized library construction and a comprehensive toolkit for data analysis and visualization. We outline algorithm improvements that enhance the efficiency and accuracy of read alignment and provide details on data analysis outputs using example datasets. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Behrens et al. (2021).
定量 tRNA 对于理解它们如何调节 mRNA 翻译至关重要,但由于其广泛的序列相似性和在多个修饰核苷酸处的逆转录过早终止,这一任务受到了阻碍。在这里,我们描述了使用修饰诱导的错配 tRNA 测序(mim-tRNAseq),它通过优化的文库构建和全面的数据分析和可视化工具包克服了这些限制。我们概述了算法改进,这些改进提高了读取比对的效率和准确性,并提供了使用示例数据集的数据分析输出的详细信息。有关该协议的使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参阅 Behrens 等人(2021 年)。
