Résumé
Detection of RNA modified nucleotides using deep sequencing can be performed by several approaches, including antibody-driven enrichment and natural or chemically induced RT signatures. However, only very few RNA modified nucleotides generate natural RT signatures and antibody-driven enrichment heavily depends on the quality of antibodies used and may be highly biased. Thus, the use of chemically-induced RT signatures is now considered as the most trusted experimental approach. In addition, the use of chemical reagents allows inclusion of simple "mock-treated" controls, to exclude spontaneous RT arrests, SNPs and other misincorporation-prone sites. Hydrazine is a well-known RNA-specific reagent, already extensively used in the past for RNA sequencing and structural probing. Hydrazine is highly reactive to U and shows low reaction rates with ψ residues, allowing their distinction by deep sequencing-based protocols. However, other modified RNA residues also show particular behavior upon hydrazine treatment. Here we present methodological developments allowing to use HydraPsiSeq for precise quantification of RNA pseudouridylation and also detection and quantification of some other RNA modifications, in addition to ψ residues.
