Strand-specific sequencing can distinguish whether an RNA sample originates from the sense strand or the antisense strand, thereby determining the transcription direction of RNA. Through this technology, researchers can more accurately analyze gene expression patterns, discover new transcripts, and identify the locations of RNA modifications. Strand-specific sequencing is particularly crucial in RNA sequencing, where the distinction between the sense and antisense strands is essential for understanding the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression. There are several different techniques and strategies for implementing strand-specific sequencing. Here are some commonly used methods: 1. dUTP method: The reverse strand is labeled with dUTP during reverse transcription. Subsequently, Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UDG) is used to degrade the dUTP-labeled strand before sequencing. 2. Double-stranded RNA-specific enzyme treatment: Utilizing double-stranded RNA-specific enzymes like RNase H to selectively degrade one of the strands, achieving strand specificity. 3. Primer design: Designing specific primers to selectively guide reverse transcription or PCR reactions, thereby labeling RNA strands. 4. Chemical modification: Introducing special chemical modifications to distinguish between the strands. #BMKGENE can provide Strand-specific mRNA sequencing service, to meet the research needs of researchers. #mRNA #StrandSpecific #RNAseq #dUTP #RNaseH
