Publication number: 20250101513Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for performing in situ sequencing of RNA transcripts with non-uniform 5? ends. During reverse transcription (RT) of RNA transcripts, RT enzyme is induced to “template-switch” to a separate oligonucleotide provided as the template for the upstream flanking region. This flanking region is grafted onto the beginning of the cDNA, enabling padlock probe detection, rolling circle amplification, and fluorescent in situ sequencing. Overall, the disclosed method for in situ sequencing can be applicable for analyzing exogenously introduced transcripts (e.g., identifying and determining impact of a perturbation including a CRISPR perturbation or shRNA/siRNA/ASO perturbation), analyzing naturally occurring transcripts (e.g., measuring gene expression, detecting splicing events), and analyzing modified, naturally occurring transcripts (e.g., detecting mutations or gene edits).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Cynthia Hao, Max R. Salick, Ci Chu

Patent number: 8748354Abstract: A method of sample analysis is provided. In certain cases, the method comprises: a) cross-linking the contents of a cell using a heat stable crosslinking agent to produce cross-linked ribonucleotide complexes; b) fragmenting the cross-linked ribonucleotide complexes to produce complexes comprising protein, RNA fragments and, optionally, genomic DNA fragments; c) contacting the complexes with a plurality of non-overlapping oligonucleotides comprise an affinity tag and that are complementary to a specific target RNA of the cell under high stringency conditions that include high temperature; d) isolating complexes that contain the oligonucleotides using the affinity tag to produce isolated complexes; e) enzymatically releasing the protein, RNA fragments and/or the genomic DNA fragments from the isolated complexes to produce a released component, without reversing the crosslinking; and f) analyzing the released component.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2012Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Howard Yuan-Hao Chang, Ci Chu
