delegacion.comunitatvalenciana.csic.es/el-csic-anal...

Científicas del Instituto de Biología Integrativa de Sistemas (I2SysBio), centro mixto del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) y la Universitat de València, publican una revisión de la tecnología de secuenciación transcriptómica de lectura larga. Esta tecnología permite analizar con más precisión que los métodos tradicionales, las moléculas de ARN presentes en todas las células y que contienen información genética esencial para la vida. Conocer cómo cambia la expresión génica en los diferentes organismos resulta fundamental para comprender mejor el envejecimiento, las enfermedades neurodegenerativas o el cáncer, por ejemplo. El artículo ha sido publicado en la revista Nature Reviews Genetics.

La transcriptómica engloba el estudio de todas las moléculas de ARN (ácido ribonucleico) presentes en una célula o tejido. Estas son moléculas intermedias entre el ADN y las proteínas. Si bien el ADN contiene la información genética, el ARN es el que permite la síntesis de proteínas y que la información sea comprendida por las células. Esta rama de la ciencia permite entender qué genes están activos en un momento concreto y cuál es su grado de activación en los diferentes organismos, lo que es clave para comprender el origen y desarrollo de muchas enfermedades humanas.

happy to share our new study! 🧪

while exploring how often #sars-cov-2 "repairs" deletions in BA.1, we found significant genome artifacts in GISAID 🤯 we compared with raw reads from ENA + tested the effects in vitro. turns out, data processing matters a lot 📉
