Ribo-Seq/ART-Seq/GTI-Seq

Active mRNA Translation Sequencing (ART-seq), also called ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq ) or Global Translation Initiation Sequencing (GTI-Seq ), isolates RNA that is being processed by the ribosome in order to monitor the translation process. In this method ribosome-bound RNA first undergoes digestion. The RNA is then extracted and the rRNA is depleted. Extracted RNA is reverse-transcribed to cDNA. Deep sequencing of the cDNA provides the sequences of RNAs bound by ribosomes during translation.
