The Translatome Map: RNC-Seq vs. Ribo-Seq for Profiling of HBE, A549, and MCF-7 Cell Lines.

Gene expression is a tightly regulated process that involves multiple layers of control, including transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translational regulation. To gain a comprehensive understanding of gene expression dynamics and its functional implications, it is crucial to compare translatomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data. The two most common analysis methods, Ribo-seq and RNC-Seq, were used to analyze the translatome of the same sample, whose datasets were downloaded from the TranslatomeDB database. The resulting translatome maps obtained for three cell lines (HBE, A549, and MCF-7) using these two methods were comparatively analyzed. The two methods of translatome analysis were shown to provide comparable results and can be used interchangeably. The obtained mRNA translation patterns were annotated in the transcriptome and proteome context for the same sample, which may become the basis for the reconstruction of the molecular mechanisms of pathological process development in the future.
