研究领域
1. 课题组成功研发了超微量,低成本单碱基分辨率的表观基因组和转录组检测技术,该技术不依赖于高通量测序,仅需1 ng 血液中抽提的cfDNA就可以低成本(低至300元)检测DNA甲基化和RNA m6A修饰进行单碱基分辨率的定量分析,无需复杂的数据处理,使用简单方便,用户友好,在临床方向有很好的应用前景。
2. 课题组基于“split-pool”策略成功开发了单细胞尺度的DNA 5hmC测序技术,可以基于DNA 5hmC修饰对神经细胞进行精细分群,为研究脑科学和脑疾病中的单细胞DNA 5hmC特征提供了实用的工具。
3. 研发检测RNA亚细胞定位的新技术。目前研究RNA亚细胞定位的技术APEX-Seq需要过表达质粒或者慢病毒感染,对细胞状态影响较大。课题组开发无需过表达质粒或者慢病毒感染的原位扩增技术,来检测无膜细胞器例如P-body, nuclear speckle, stress granule 和autophagosome中的RNA含量和丰度。
4. 以往的认知中,细胞膜外表面分布着蛋白质,脂类以及糖链修饰,然而最新的研究表明,细胞膜外表面存在被糖基化修饰的RNA。有一些膜蛋白,例如P62细胞自噬受体受到小RNA的调控。课题组研发细胞膜外表面RNA的扩增和检测技术,并且专注于研究细胞膜外表面RNA的结合蛋白和详细功能,探索受到RNA调控的膜蛋白种类和具体机制。
