Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biological detection, and particularly relates to a method for amplifying or detecting full-length transcriptome cDNA containing full-length poly(A) and its application. Background Art

[0002] As the basis of life science research, full-length transcriptome sequencing has promoted basic and applied research in various aspects such as gene function, gene expression regulation, and evolutionary relationships of various species. At present, the research on full-length transcriptomes actually only includes the reading of partial poly(A), and cannot reflect the true information of poly(A) length. The RNA poly(A) tail is an important part of mature mRNA and lncRNA, and also has an important regulatory role in RNA stability and translation. Currently, the related technologies for poly(A) tail detection are still very limited, and next-generation sequencing cannot read homopolymer long sequences. Recently, the literature reported a new method for detecting poly(A) length based on the PacBio platform, PAIso-seq, which can obtain poly(A) length information while obtaining full-length transcriptome information.

[0003] Currently, a set of detectable poly(A) tail detection techniques, PAIso-seq, has been developed based on PacBio Iso-Seq, realizing the determination of RNA poly(A) tail sequences. Library construction process: First, terminal extension is performed with oligo dT containing U. After the extension, the oligo dT containing U is digested, and the RT primer is retained for template replacement to obtain full-length cDNA, which is amplified and then circular adapters are ligated to construct a PAIso-seq library retaining the RNA poly(A) tail for sequencing. (For the detailed library construction process, see fig.1 in https: / / www.nature.com / articles / s41467-019-13228-9#Sec11. Literature source: Liu, Y., Nie, H., Liu, H. et al. Poly(A) inclusive RNA isoform sequencing (PAIso-seq) reveals wide-spread non-adenosine residues within RNA poly(A) tails. Nat Commun 10, 5292 (2019). https: / / doi.org / 10.1038 / s41467-019-13228-9.)

[0004] The prior art mainly focuses on the population cell level. At the single cell level, it is currently limited by the detection throughput of the method and cannot achieve high-throughput single cell transcriptome detection of full-length poly(A). The single cell full-length transcript (including full-length poly(A)) results in a long detection time and high cost. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect in the prior art that the transcriptome containing the full-length poly(A) length cannot be detected or amplified in a high-throughput manner, and only single cells can be selected for reaction. A method for amplifying or detecting full-length transcriptome cDNA containing full-length poly(A) is provided. The method of the present invention can achieve the detection of the full-length transcriptome containing the full-length poly(A) length at the single cell level. Moreover, based on the high-throughput single cell full-length poly(A) transcriptome products of the 10X Genomics and PacBio platforms, a complete solution for more refined evolution of cell development or change is provided.

[0006] On the one hand, although the current high-throughput technology has developed relatively maturely, there is no high-throughput technology for detecting polyA. And currently, the detection tape with polyT is only used to capture mRNA and detect the mRNA information by randomly binding to any position of polyA. However, the inventor specifically utilizes the key structure on the gelbeads in the 10X Genomics platform, adjusts the master mix in the original 10X kit so that it is not limited to cDNA synthesis, and combines with the TSO technology for detection, enabling the detection of the high-throughput single cell full-length poly(A) transcriptome, and providing a complete solution for more refined evolution of cell development or change.

[0007] On the other hand, the current high-throughput (simultaneously labeling thousands of single cells for distinction) single cell sequencing needs to rely on microfluidic technology to separate single cells, and the high-throughput single cell sequencing can only detect the 3'-end sequence; while the technology that can detect the full length of polyA cannot achieve high-throughput. Therefore, this technology can perform the detection of the transcriptome containing the full length of polyA without changing the existing components, and has an irreplaceable role.
