This alkyne-bearing metabolic labeling reagent can be used to measure RNA synthesis in proliferating cells. Once fed to cells, this nucleoside is incorporated during active RNA synthesis and can then be detected using a copper-catalyzed click reaction with fluorescent dyes. The cells can then be analysed by fluorescence imaging, flow cytometry or high content imaging analysis.
Deriving mechanisms of immune-mediated disease from GWAS data remains a formidable challenge, with attempts to identify causal variants being frequently hampered by strong linkage disequilibrium. To determine whether causal variants could be identified from their functional effects, we adapted a
We combine the labeling of newly transcribed RNAs with 5-ethynyluridine with the characterization of bound proteins. This approach, named capture of the newly transcribed RNA interactome using click chemistry (RICK), systematically captures proteins bound to a wide range of RNAs
Repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is essential for genome integrity, and is accompanied by transcriptional repression at the DSB regions. However, the mechanisms how DNA repair induces transcriptional inhibition remain elusive. Here, it is identified that BRD7 participates in
Ovarian tissue contains large pools of immature oocytes enclosed in primordial follicles, making it an attractive target for fertility preservation in female cancer patients, livestock and wild species. Compared to cryopreservation, desiccation and long-term storage of samples at supra-zero temperatures
R-loops are dynamic, co-transcriptional nucleic acid structures that facilitate physiological processes but can also cause DNA damage in certain contexts. Perturbations of transcription or R-loop resolution are expected to change their genomic distribution. Next-generation sequencing approaches to map RNA-DNA hybrids
