2'-O-Methylation Sequencing

2'-O-Methylation sequencing is a next generation sequencing (NGS)-based method to comprehensively detect 2'-O-RNA modification at single-base resolution and of high detection sensitivity. It can quickly identify the complete picture of the 2'-O-RNA methylation modification in transcripts. We provide one-stop 2'-O-Methylation sequencing service to meet various in-depth data analysis needs of customers.

Overview

2'-O-methylation modification is a chemical modification in which ribosomal RNA is methylated at 2' position under the action of RNA methylase or fibrinase. Studies have shown that 2'-O-methylation modification is mainly present in specific residues of transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, small nuclear RNA, and 5'-cap of mammalian cell mRNA. It can affect the combination of mRNA and protein, regulate the efficiency of rRNA translation, and participate in innate immunity and biological processes such as tRNA recognition. Combining high-throughput sequencing technology with bioinformatics analysis methods, our company provides one-stop 2'-O-methylation sequencing service and detailed data reports, which can systematically analyze 2'-O-methylation modification within the whole transcriptome. The feature is that sodium periodate can specifically oxidize the sites without 2'-O-methylation, after multiple cycles of purification, the proportion of methylated fragments in sequencing library can be greatly increased. 2'-O-methylation sequencing is suitable for multiple molecules, including mRNA, lncRNA, pri-miRNA, tRNA and rRNA. 2'-O-methylation sequencing assays contribute to our understanding of transcript variants and how RNA molecules affect gene regulation that associates with disease development and phenotypic variation.
