Multi-Omics Analysis FAQ Summary
To analyze the antibiotic resistance mechanisms of streptococcus to macrolides, the following multi-omics integration analysis projects can be used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms behind resistance. By selecting appropriate multi-omics combinations, a complete picture of the resistance mechanisms can be constructed from various levels.
In eukaryotic non-reference transcriptome sequencing, ORF predicted sequences can provide preliminary guidance for primer design, but further validation is usually required. It is recommended to combine transcriptome assembly tools (such as Trinity, SPAdes) to improve transcript background information and verify the accuracy of ORFs through database comparisons (such as NR, Swiss-Prot) to ensure primer specificity and amplification effectiveness. Additionally, if there are functional or conserved regions of specific target genes, it is best to optimize primer design based on these to enhance primer stability and amplification specificity.
• Can transcriptome sequencing definitely detect differential genes?
Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool that can measure changes in gene expression under specific conditions, potentially allowing for the detection of differential genes. However, transcriptome sequencing does not always guarantee the detection of differential genes, as it primarily depends on various factors such as sample handling, sequencing depth, data analysis, and statistical methods.
Integrating multi-omics data such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics is one of the important research areas in modern systems biology. Integrating these multidimensional data can provide a more comprehensive biological perspective, revealing complex biological processes and disease mechanisms. Here is a systematic approach and steps for integration:
When performing transcriptome sequencing after drug treatment, the selection of drug action time and sample handling is crucial. Drug action time is typically divided into short-term (1-6 hours), medium-term (12-24 hours), and long-term (more than 24 hours), with the specific choice depending on the drug mechanism and research objectives. Sample requirements include ensuring consistency in cell status, promptly processing samples to prevent RNA degradation, using appropriate methods for RNA extraction and quality control (such as OD260/280 ratio and RNA integrity assessment), and setting up biological replicates and control groups to ensure the reliability and validity of the results.
• Protein-DNA Interaction Research, Choose ChIP or CUT&Tag?
In protein-DNA interaction research, the choice between ChIP and CUT&Tag depends on experimental needs. ChIP is suitable for large-scale and traditional studies, providing extensive genomic data, but requires a considerable amount of starting material and time, and may have higher background signals. CUT&Tag, on the other hand, has lower sample requirements, higher sensitivity, and lower background noise, making it ideal for providing accurate location information, especially when sample amounts are limited. The appropriate method should be chosen based on specific research goals and sample conditions.
During the construction of a gene library, to ensure that the randomly fragmented mRNA segments can be accurately recognized and transcribed into their corresponding proteins, it is necessary to retain sufficient sequence information, use reverse transcriptase with specific primers to synthesize full-length cDNA, construct expression vectors to preserve the original expression framework, and verify the accuracy and functionality of the clones through sequence analysis and functional screening, thereby achieving efficient and accurate protein expression and functional reconstruction.
• What is the role of RNA transcription?
RNA is responsible for the transmission of genetic information, protein synthesis, gene regulation, and has editing functions, making it a key molecule in gene expression and cellular activities.
• How to perform joint analysis of lipidomics and transcriptomics?
The joint analysis of lipidomics and transcriptomics is a profoundly significant integrative research strategy in modern biology, aimed at revealing the complex interactions between lipid metabolism and gene expression. This integration not only deepens our understanding of the relationship between metabolism and gene regulation in biological systems but also provides new perspectives for studying the mechanisms of related diseases.
• How to perform metabolomics combined with 16S analysis? Is 3 samples per group enough?
Metabolomics combined with 16S analysis includes steps such as sample preparation, sample processing, data analysis, and joint analysis. Metabolomics uses LC-MS or GC-MS techniques to detect metabolites, while 16S rRNA gene sequencing analyzes microbial community structure. Joint analysis can explore the relationship between metabolites and microbes. Regarding sample quantity, 3 samples per group can provide preliminary data, but to ensure the reliability of the results, it is recommended to have at least 5-6 samples per group.
