Improving ribosome profiling
IMMAGINA’s proprietary RiboLace technology enables fast and selective extraction of ribosomes in active translation (both in vitro and in vivo) and purification of ribosome protected fragments (RPFs) for continuing with the ribosome profiling library preparation.
The technology combines a module for sample preparation, three different options for ribosome profiling library preparation/sequencing (RiboLace module 2, LACEseq and circAID-p-seq.) and a kit for gel extraction. The technology allows the user to perform ribosome profiling experiments with a short and simple workflow, no ultracentrifugation steps and low cell input requirements (>100.000 cells in active translation).
Applications
- Ribosomal profiling
- Translatome analysis
- RIBOseq
Key benefits
RiboLace is the only available commercial system to capture native ribosomes in active translation allowing to generate highly accurate translatome data.
It is particularly useful for reliable ribosome profiling with challenging biological samples and with low-input material.
Active Ribosome Profiling with RiboLace: high quality sequencing data
The possibility to perform Ribo profiling with RiboLace was evaluated on different mammalian cell lines and mouse tissues. As for canonical Ribo-seq, an enrichment of signal from mapped reads along coding sequence regions was observed (Fig. 5A), demonstrating that RiboLace is indeed able to capture bona fide ribosomes. Occupancy meta-profiles, derived from the aggregation of signals on single genes, presented the typical trinucleotide periodicity of the ribosome P-site along coding sequences, which is suggestive of signal derived from ribosomes moving along transcripts (Fig. 5B and 5C).
