Abstrakt: | Small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) regulate biological processes by impacting post-transcriptional gene expression through repressing the translation and levels of targeted transcripts. Despite the clear biological importance of sncRNAs, approaches to unambiguously define genome-wide sncRNA:target RNA interactions remain challenging and not widely adopted. We present CIMERA-seq, a robust strategy incorporating covalent ligation of sncRNAs to their target RNAs within the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) and direct detection of in vivo interactions by sequencing of the resulting chimeric RNAs. Modifications are incorporated to increase the capacity for processing low-abundance samples and permit cell-type-selective profiling of sncRNA:target RNA interactions, as demonstrated in mouse brain cortex. CIMERA-seq represents a cohesive and optimized method for unambiguously characterizing the in vivo network of sncRNA:target RNA interactions in numerous biological contexts and even subcellular fractions. Genome-wide and cell-type-selective CIMERA-seq enhances researchers' ability to study gene regulation by sncRNAs in diverse model systems and tissue types.
