Title : Transcriptomic analysis leads to the study of mRNA half-life and cell subtypes

 

Abstract : mRNA is transcribed in the nucleus, transported to the cytoplasm, translated and degraded. The amount of mRNAs is controlled through the regulation of the transcription rate and the degradation rate. However, there is no direct way to calculate the degradation rate. To obtain the mRNA degradation rate, I used the sequencing of nascent RNAs (using global run-on sequencing (GROseq)) and total RNAs (RNAseq) in murine adipocytes. Applying a signal processing approach, I calculated mRNA half-life in adipocytes. Interestingly, I found that mRNA half-life is calculated upon the external signals. We further discuss the mechanisms that regulate mRNA stability.

As a second topic, I present an approach to study cell sub-types using single cell RNAseq data. Studying the characteristic pattern of gene expression across single cells, the proposed approach can perform sub-type clustering without normalization.
