TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION at AGBT 2018: SLAMseq: Thiol-linked alkylation for the metabolic sequencing of RNA

ABSTRACT:
Gene expression profiling by high-throughput sequencing reveals qualitative and quantitative changes in RNA species at steady-state but obscures the intracellular dynamics of RNA transcription, processing and decay. We developed thiol(SH)-linked alkylation for the metabolic sequencing of RNA (SLAMseq), an orthogonal chemistry-based epitranscriptome-sequencing technology that uncovers 4-thiouridine (s4U)-incorporation in RNA species at single-nucleotide resolution and absolute stoichiometry. In combination with established metabolic RNA labeling protocols and coupled to standard, high-throughput RNA sequencing methods, SLAMseq provides rapid access to RNA expression dynamics. We show that SLAMseq reports the functional RNA polymerase II-dependent transcriptional output, enables the systematic evaluation of post-transcriptional gene regulatory signatures, and provides quantitative evidence for microRNA-directed target mRNA decay. Chemical nucleotide-analog-derivatization provides an accessible, cost-effective, and scalable method for the rapid and transcriptome-wide analysis of gene expression dynamics in living cells.
