RAP
RNA Antisense Purification
RAP isolates lncRNAs and maps the sequence of their target DNA through a probe-capture mechanism (Engreitz et al., 2013). First, the cells are crosslinked and lysed before DNase I chromatin digestion to 100_300 bp DNA fragments. Biotinylated RNA probes, antisense to the lncRNA, are hybridized and captured with streptavidin. The biotin-RNA probes are 120 nt and are tiled every 15 nt over the span of the lncRNA. The captured complexes are eluted and prepared for sequencing. RNA library preparation is done through RAP-RNA, and DNA library preparation by standard chromatin immuniprecipitation (ChIP).
Advantages:
- Genomic mapping of lncRNA targets
- Possible to sequence RNA and DNA from the purification products
- Long RNA probe length provides high binding affinity to the target lncRNA (Kashi et al., 2015)
- Minimal amplification steps during RNA sequencing after purification of the lncRNA complex
Disadvantages:
- Requires the RNA sequence to be known
Reagents:
Illumina Library prep and Array Kit Selector
