RBP-eCLIP

Map where proteins bind across the transcriptome

Contact us

Our RBP-eCLIP technology directly reveals where and how proteins bind.

All RNAs in the cell are bound by proteins, and these RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play significant roles in health, disease, and developing successful RNA therapeutics. Over 1500 RBPs have been identified that play critical roles in RNA splicing, stabilization, localization and translation. Understanding how and where they act is critical for therapeutic development and basic research.

Discover protein binding biology

The following are some examples of the types of insights that RBP-eCLIP can provide. For our partners, we perform additional analyses to provide actionable insights for therapeutic success.

Transcriptome-wide identification of protein targets

RBP-eCLIP provides an unbiased examination of where proteins bind, revealing binding in introns, exons, UTRs, and non-coding targets such as lncRNAs. These results can be used to obtain a deeper understanding of RNA biology, identify optimal UTRs for mRNA therapeutics, or discover targetable proteins for small molecule drugs.

Reveal how proteins bind

RBPs can bind to specific sequences (called motifs) or to specific structures. With standard RBP-eCLIP, our comprehensive analysis includes the identification of enriched sequencing motifs, allowing for the discovery of novel binding patterns. When paired with eSHAPE, our technology for determining RNA secondary structure, structural binding motifs can also be identified.

Screen mRNA therapeutics

We have developed a custom database of RBP motifs that we use to identify potential sites of RBP regulation on mRNA therapeutics. Available as a part of eMERGE, our RNA characterization and optimization platform, this analysis provides therapeutic developers with potential regulatory regions that can be optimized to reduce or enhance binding.
