Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University The ambition of experimental psychology is to characterize the mental events that support the human ability to solve problems, perceive the world, and turn thoughts into words and sentences. But people cannot see or feel those mental events; they cannot be weighed, combined in test tubes, or grown in a dish. Wanting to study mental life, nonetheless, Franciscus Donders, a Dutch ophthalmologist in the early 1800s, came up with a...

Position a human patient with internal carotid stenosis, a condition characterized by narrowing of the internal carotid artery, on the imaging table for digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Insert an angiocatheter into the common carotid artery at the fourth cervical vertebra level. Capture a pre-contrast X-ray image to record background structures like bones and soft tissues using X-ray irradiation. Administer an iodine-based contrast medium into the carotid artery. The contrast medium...

Complementary oligonucleotide probes recognize and hybridize with ribosomal RNA molecules in the total RNA sample. This pairing creates probe-bound rRNA complexes that can be distinguished from other transcripts. Selective capture or enzymatic degradation then targets those complexes, allowing messenger RNA and other non-ribosomal RNA to remain available for downstream transcriptome analysis.
Ribosomal RNA is highly abundant and can dominate the available sequencing output if it remains in the sample. Removing it increases the proportion of reads representing messenger RNA and other non-ribosomal transcripts. As a result, sequencing capacity is directed toward more informative RNA populations, supporting broader gene-expression and transcriptome measurements.
The subtraction strategy removes ribosomal RNA rather than selecting transcripts through polyadenylation. This distinction matters because polyadenylation-based selection is unsuitable for some transcriptomes and may not fit degraded samples. By depleting an unwanted abundant population, the protocol retains messenger RNA together with other non-ribosomal transcripts that can contribute to transcriptome analysis.
After hybridization, the probe-bound rRNA complexes undergo one of two supported removal routes: selective capture or enzymatic degradation. Both approaches are intended to separate or destroy the targeted ribosomal RNA while retaining the remaining RNA. The resulting sample is enriched for transcripts suitable for sequencing, gene-expression profiling, and related analyses.
A typical workflow begins with total RNA and introduces complementary oligonucleotide probes that hybridize to rRNA. The resulting complexes are then subjected to selective capture or enzymatic degradation. The remaining RNA, now depleted of abundant ribosomal sequences, can proceed to transcriptome analysis or sequencing to examine coding and noncoding transcripts.
This approach is particularly useful for degraded RNA samples or transcriptomes where polyadenylation-based selection is unsuitable. It also supports experiments that need information from both coding and noncoding RNA rather than focusing only on a selected transcript class. These features make it relevant to RNA sequencing and gene-expression profiling.
The enriched material supports analysis of messenger RNA and other non-ribosomal transcripts, including coding and noncoding RNA populations. Researchers can use it for RNA sequencing, transcriptome analysis, and gene-expression profiling. Because fewer reads are consumed by abundant rRNA, the resulting data can devote more sequencing capacity to biologically informative transcripts.
