  2. Complementary DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_DNA

    [12] cDNA is commonly generated from mRNA for gene expression analyses such as RT-qPCR and RNA-seq. [13] mRNA is selectively reverse transcribed using oligo-dT primers that are the reverse complement of the poly-adenylated tail on the 3' end of all mRNA. The oligo-dT primer anneals to the poly-adenylated tail of the mRNA to serve as a binding ...

  3. RNA-Seq - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA-Seq

    The mRNA is extracted from the organism, fragmented and copied into stable ds-cDNA (blue). The ds-cDNA is sequenced using high-throughput , short-read sequencing methods. These sequences can then be aligned to a reference genome sequence to reconstruct which genome regions were being transcribed.

  4. Transcriptomics technologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcriptomics_technologies

    The mRNA is extracted from the organism and reverse transcriptase is used to copy the mRNA into stable ds-cDNA (blue). In microarrays, the ds-cDNA is fragmented and fluorescently labelled (orange). The labelled fragments bind to an ordered array of complementary oligonucleotides, and measurement of fluorescent intensity across the array ...

  5. Transcriptome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcriptome

    Since mRNA is the species of interest and it represents only 3% of its total content, the RNA sample should be treated to remove rRNA and tRNA and tissue-specific RNA transcripts. [23] The step of library preparation with the aim of producing short cDNA fragments, begins with RNA fragmentation to transcripts in length between 50 and 300 base pairs.

  6. Complementarity (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementarity_(molecular...

    A cDNA library is a collection of expressed DNA genes that are seen as a useful reference tool in gene identification and cloning processes. cDNA libraries are constructed from mRNA using RNA-dependent DNA polymerase reverse transcriptase (RT), which transcribes an mRNA template into DNA. Therefore, a cDNA library can only contain inserts that ...

  7. Genomic DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genomic_DNA

    Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated as gDNA [1]) is chromosomal DNA, in contrast to extra-chromosomal DNAs like plasmids.Most organisms have the same genomic DNA in every cell; however, only certain genes are active in each cell to allow for cell function and differentiation within the body.

  8. Sense (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_(molecular_biology)

    An RNA sequence that is complementary to an endogenous mRNA transcript is sometimes called "antisense RNA". In other words, it is a non-coding strand complementary to the coding sequence of RNA; this is similar to negative-sense viral RNA. When mRNA forms a duplex with a complementary antisense RNA sequence, translation is blocked.

  9. Untranslated region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Untranslated_region

    DNA is initially transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. The mRNA is then translated into a protein. (See Central dogma of molecular biology.) mRNA structure, approximately to scale for a human mRNA. In molecular genetics, an untranslated region (or UTR) refers to either of two sections, one on each side of a coding sequence on a ...
