The long non-coding RNA SAMMSON is essential for uveal melanoma cell survival

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the therapeutic potential of SAMMSON inhibition in uveal melanoma (UM) cells and evaluated the impact of antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated SAMMSon inhibition in a panel of UM cell lines and patient derived xenograft (PDX) models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blocking Abundant RNA Transcripts by High-Affinity Oligonucleotides during Transcriptome Library Preparation

TL;DR: In this article , an easy-to-use strategy based on high-affinity RNA-binding oligonucleotides was developed to block reverse transcription and PCR amplification of specific RNA transcripts, thereby substantially reducing their abundance in the final sequencing library.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA Extraction Method Impacts Quality Metrics and Sequencing Results in Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Samples.

TL;DR: In this paper , the impact of three different RNA extraction methods on yield, quality, and sequencing-based gene expression results in FFPE samples was compared in 16 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

When DNA gets in the way in RNA-seq experiments, a sequel

TL;DR: To assess whether the newly data generated may suffer from DNA contamination, the publicly available sequencing data was downloaded and two quality control metrics were evaluated, which suggest the data and results presented by Yan et al. are affected by DNA contamination.
