Identification of m6A modifications in the RNA with AllGenetics' MeRIP-seq service

With our MeRIP-seq service (also known as m6A-seq) we identify N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in the RNA. These modifications are known to have a large effect on gene expression and mRNA metabolism.

Our lab team immunoprecipitates the RNA containing methylated adenosines by using a specific antibody. We then use the immunoprecipitated RNA for library construction, and we sequence it together with a control RNA sample.

Our bioinformatics team map the reads coming from both the immunoprecipitate sample and the control to a reference transcriptome and compare them to find regions of differential coverage. These regions will point to the location of the m6A residues.

Our full MeRIP-seq service includes RNA fragmentation, RNA immunoprecipitation, library construction of both the immunoprecipitate and the control RNA, high-throughput sequencing, and bioinformatic analyses.

This graph shows the different steps of the AllGenetics' MeRIP-seq service. Therefore it shows a typical workflow of a MeRIP-seq experiment, including RNA isolation, library preparation, high-throughput sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis.

Step 1

We isolate RNA from your samples. We have adapted different RNA isolation protocols, depending on the starting biological material.

Step 2

We inmunoprecipitate your samples and prepare cDNA libraries compatible with Illumina’s sequencing platforms.

Step 3

We sequence the libraries using the Illumina NovaSeq technology. Millions of reads per library are obtained in this step.

Step 4

We analyse the high-throughput sequencing data obtained in the previous step.

For your convenience, we can carry out the entire project or only those steps you require. As a norm, steps 2 and 3 should be ordered jointly.
