A comprehensive joint analysis of the long and short RNA transcriptomes of human erythrocytes
16 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human erythrocytes are terminally differentiated, anucleate cells long thought to lack RNAs. However, previous studies have shown the persistence of many small-sized RNAs in erythrocytes. To comprehensively define the erythrocyte transcriptome, we used high-throughput sequencing to identify both short (18-24 nt) and long (>200 nt) RNAs in mature erythrocytes. RESULTS: Analysis of the short RNA...
