Transcriptome-Wide Mapping 5-Methylcytosine by m5C RNA Immunoprecipitation Followed by Deep Sequencing in Plant

Abstract

Transcriptome-wide mapping RNA modification is crucial to understand the distribution and function of RNA modifications. Here, we describe a protocol to transcriptome-wide mapping 5-methylcytosine (m5C) in plant, by a RNA immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (m5C-RIP-seq) approach. The procedure includes RNA extraction, fragmentation, RNA immunoprecipitation, and library construction.
