RNA-seq analysis of the budding yeast prp45(1-169) strain (a "scarless" truncation)
Prp45 is a budding yeast NineTeen-Complex associated factor, which plays a role in pre-mRNA splicing. prp45(1-169) is a temperature-sensitive truncation allele expressing only the first 169 amino acids (the full-length protein consists of 379 amino acids). RNA-seq analysis was performed to determine changes in transcription and splicing in cells with prp45(1-169) allele prepared by the CRISPR/Cas9 method as a "scarless" truncation, i.e. with no tags and with preserved endogenous 3' UTR. Total RNA was isolated by combining phenol-chlorophorm extraction with MasterPure Yeast RNA Purification Kit (Epicentre). Ribodepletion, library preparation and sequencing were performed by BGI Genomics.
