Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Next-generation sequencing was applied to small RNA fractions with lengths ranging from 40 to 140 nt from mouse brain and secondary structure-based clustering was performed. From the hundred million sequences obtained, 16 candidates of the mouse structured small non-coding RNAs (MsncRs) were isolated. Their expressions, together with those of other candidates, were analyzed by northern hybridization. One among 16 candidates obtained by the next-generation sequencing revealed a signal shorter than expected. One of the candidates, MsncR-11, have a sequence complementary to a mitochondrial tRNA. NMR analysis suggested that MsncR-11 forms a secondary structure similar to tRNA including acceptor and T stems.
