The invention relates to a method for detecting a PAS (Poly
A Site) of an
RNA (
Ribose Nucleic Acid), and provides a method for analyzing APA (Alternative
Polyadenylation) based on 3T-seq (TT-mRNA Terminal Sequencing) within a whole-
genome range. The method for analyzing APA comprises the following steps: preparing magnetic beads containing
oligo dT, i.e., mixing an
oligo dT primer modified by 5' end
biotin and the magnetic beads with
streptavidin; mixing the magnetic beads with
total RNA and screening
RNA containing Poly A; performing reverse transcription, synthesizing the second strand of a double-stranded cDNA and breaking the double-stranded cDNA; removing the Poly A structure; after terminal modification, connecting a sequencing
linker; and recovering libraries. According to the method for analyzing APA,
RNA horizontal operation is reduced, a Poly A sequence is horizontally removed from the
DNA, and the influence of the Poly structure on sequencing is eliminated; double-stranded
DNA breaking
enzyme is selected for treatment, and on the premise that the quality of the libraries is not affected, the
DNA is broken horizontally; the experiment process is simplified, the experiment difficulty and cost are lowered and the method for analyzing APA is wide in application range.
