The elucidation of the role of microorganisms in human infections has been hindered by difficulties using conventional culture-based techniques. Here, we present a protocol for the investigation of transcriptionally active microbes (TAMs) using an RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)-based approach. We describe the steps for RNA isolation, viral genome sequencing, RNA-seq library preparation, and metatranscriptomic and transcriptomic analysis. This protocol permits a comprehensive evaluation of TAMs' contributions to the differential severity of infectious diseases, with a particular focus on diseases such as COVID-19. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Devi et al..
阐明微生物在人体感染中的作用一直受到传统基于培养的技术的困难的阻碍。在这里,我们提出了一种使用基于 RNA 测序(RNA-seq)的方法研究转录活性微生物(TAMs)的方案。我们描述了 RNA 分离、病毒基因组测序、RNA-seq 文库制备以及宏转录组学和转录组学分析的步骤。该方案允许全面评估 TAMs 对传染病严重程度差异的贡献,特别关注 COVID-19 等疾病。有关此方案的使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参阅 Devi 等人的研究。
