CAGE-seq Profiling of Transcription Start Site Usage in mock-infected and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infected human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HELF) cells (human)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: CAGE-seq (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression coupled with deep sequencing) was used to map transcription start site (TSS) usage in human embryonic lung fibroblast (HELF) cells in response to infection with the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) HAN strain. Total RNA from infected cells at 72 hours post-infection and mock-infected controls was profiled. The analysis detected 224,206 and 292,294 CAGE transcription start sites (CTSSs) in infected and mock samples, respectively, which grouped into 20,532 and 26,407 transcript clusters (TCs). Comparative analysis identified 3,302 consensus clusters with significant shifts in TSS positions, spanning 2,487 protein-coding genes and 134 non-coding RNAs. These findings reveal extensive infection-associated remodeling of promoter choice across the host transcriptome.
