The Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) is a powerful method to identify the Transcription Start Sites (TSSs) of capped RNAs while simultaneously measuring transcripts expression level. CAGE allows mapping at single nucleotide resolution at all active promoters and enhancers. Large CAGE datasets have been produced over the years from individual laboratories and consortia, including the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) and Functional Annotation Of the Mammalian Genome (FANTOM). These datasets constitute open resource for TSS annotations and gene expression analysis. Here we provide an experimental protocol for the most recent CAGE method called Low Quantity (LQ) single strand (ss) CAGE "LQ-ssCAGE", which enables cost-effective profiling of low quantity RNA samples. LQ-ssCAGE is especially useful for samples derived from cells cultured in small volumes, cellular compartments such as nuclear RNAs or for samples from developmental stages. We demonstrate the reproducibility and effectiveness of the method by constructing 240 LQ-ssCAGE libraries from 50 ng of THP-1 cell extracted RNAs and discover lowly expressed novel enhancer and promoter-derived lncRNAs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
